Financial Planning for Wealth Creators with Craig Robson


Listen Later

Episode 061: Wealth creators understand that financial planning isn't solely about maximizing returns. It’s also about building a lasting legacy. By involving the next generation in family wealth discussions, advisors can help beneficiaries develop a solid financial understanding. This ensures a smoother wealth transfer and empowers future generations to manage their financial affairs effectively. 

In this episode, Kyle talks with Craig Robson, Founding Principal and Managing Director at Regent Peak Wealth Advisors. In his role, Craig sets the firm's overall vision and strategy. The creation of Regent Peak Wealth Advisors is a direct result of Craig's desire to provide all relationships with objective advice free from the conflicts of interest that might come from large institutions.

Craig and Kyle break down what financial planning for wealth creators looks like. They discuss the importance of using a tech stack that best suits the firm's needs rather than the one-size-fits-all approach, the flexibility of being an independent advisor, and Craig’s unique approach to solving complex financial scenarios for wealth creators and their successors.
