About Rich Gove

With over 30 years of experience in providing financial services to business owners, I focus on preparing you for either an internal or external transition. I help you get “exit‑ready” years in advance with practical steps: valuation readiness, continuity planning, retaining key employees, reviewing buy/sell agreements and family or leadership succession design. You’ll have a coordinated plan with your CPA and attorney and other applicable team experts, clear timelines, and decision support that aligns cash flow, taxes, and risk with your personal goals, so your next chapter is intentional—not accidental.

I also serve executives with equity compensation—translating RSUs, ISOs/NSOs, ESPPs, blackout windows, and grant/vesting schedules into a tax‑aware, diversified strategy that fits your broader wealth plan. We’ll map out what to do before, during, and after key events, integrating exercise decisions, concentration risk, and liquidity needs.

If you want a seasoned partner who treats your transition or your equity as distinct, high‑stakes priorities within a cohesive plan, let’s start a focused conversation and build clarity.
