We are "Next Chapter Succession Planning"
We are a collection of financial planners, accountants, insurance advisors, lawyers and investment managers who specialize in comprehensive succession planning.
who we are
Our Profile
We saw a big problem that business owners face. There are too many successful business owners struggling to properly transition out of their businesses.
The reality is that any person that works in financial planning, estate & tax law, accounting, or insurance can claim that they offer succession planning services.
But do these professionals, when taken on their own, have the resources required to properly execute your succession plan?
We believe that having access to a collective of highly specialized individuals is paramount to coordinate and execute a successful succession plan.
That’s why we formed Next Chapter Succession Planning Inc.
Why work with us?
You shouldn’t have to spend all of your time consumed with executing your exit strategy.
Next Chapter thinks that you should hear one voice and one plan. And only after the professionals required to execute your unique exit strategy have had the chance to come to the table, work together behind the scenes, and develop options for your review.
When you work with Next Chapter, the benefit is peace of mind that from start to finish, we have the expertise to handle any unique planning you require. And you can have peace of mind knowing that your business, your legacy will carry on and still impact your community. But primarily, you can have peace of mind that moving onto the next phase of life will be a seamless transition and that your decades of hard work has paid off.
