Jane Beule https://www.linkedin.com/in/janebeule/ Founder and CEO, Griffin Black, Inc. | NAPFA Registered Financial Advisor | CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional Over the years I have worked on Wall Street and I have worked in tech, but it is my current job that I find most fulfilling. Griffin Black, the company I founded in 2001, is a Registered Investment Advisor. We bring together a love of finance and passion for leveraging technology to help individuals and families make the most of their money and live the kind of lives that they envision. Delivering great financial advice and service, however, requires more than good tools and technical expertise. It takes a real understanding of each individual client’s values, personality, and long-term goals. This human element is what distinguishes a great advisor from the pack, and what enables the creation of a personal financial strategy that has the potential to be implementable and fulfilling, as well as financially sound. Are you hesitant to talk to a human advisor because you think it will be too expensive? (Hint: it needn’t be.) Are you looking for financial support and advice that is truly you-centric? Are you overwhelmed and confused by all of the automated financial tools and investment choices that are being pitched to you these days? If so, we’d be happy to hear from you.

If someone is looking to sell their company, how long in advance should they start to prepare? Is one year enough time, or how long? What needs to be done before one decides to put one’s company up for sale? In each of your professions, how would you help a seller prepare? How long beforehand would this take place? How does waiting to talk to a financial planner or anyone else on the panel impact the sellers’ options? What key questions should a wealth advisor ask a seller about their transaction when they talk? Why is the pre-deal valuation important, and what does it involve? What are the steps business owners can take pre-deal to reduce taxes during transactions? How can valuation help with that? How does one “clean up” their financials? What are some accounting “tricks” the business owners might try to play to make their financial numbers look better? From working with clients or personal stories. With an exit, do you ever hear people saying that they wish they had prepared more, that they wished they had done things differently? We talked about preparing for a sale in many areas, but what about the mental and emotional areas that one needs to prepare? How does this come into play when preparing a business? Considering the unique dynamics involved, how do you approach preparing a family-owned business for sale? What story can you share that has a lesson that our audience can take away with them?
