Private Wealth Management

Built for people whose wealth doesn't move like everyone else's.

Founders, early employees, engineers, and executives carry concentrated stock, option grants, and liquidity events that don't fit a conventional plan. FirstVault exists to navigate that complexity — deliberately, and in the open.

Navigating Complexity

Three disciplines. One coordinated plan.

Our team's expertise works together to manage, plan, and adjust the full financial picture of our clients — giving them room to build, disrupt, and grow.

Our Firm

FirstVault was formed to solve the wealth management needs of innovators and leaders — clients who carry outsized risk, concentrated stock positions, and the need for real planning before, during, and after a liquidity event.

We work in the open with a small number of relationships, coordinating investment strategy, equity planning, tax awareness, and estate structure into a single point of accountability. Read more about the firm and the next generation of wealth we serve.
