Our Strategy

How 
We Solve Problems®

Business Valuation and Readiness

We start with a thorough analysis of your business to determine its market value and identify potential deal breakers. From there, we help strengthen your financials, clean up records, and prepare your business to be transferred or sold.

Whether you’re passing the business to family, selling to a third party, or transitioning to employees, we design a custom ownership transfer strategy. We coordinate closely with your legal and financial advisors to minimize tax impact and keep the process smooth.

We model different exit scenarios and structure the transaction to minimize tax liabilities. This includes strategies like installment sales, trusts, or gifting—customized to align with your personal and business goals.

For business owners planning to pass their company on as part of their estate, we build tax-smart strategies that integrate seamlessly with your estate plan. We ensure your legacy is preserved and your wishes are clearly reflected in all documentation.

Where We Make
The Greatest Impact

Transition with Confidence

We help you create a step-by-step plan to leave your business the right way—whether now or years from now. You’ll know what it’s worth, what to expect, and how to avoid common pitfalls that cost owners time and money.

A rushed or poorly planned exit can undo years of hard work. Our process helps you avoid unexpected tax hits, legal complications, or internal conflict—so your business stays strong, even after you step away.

We work with you to balance business goals and personal priorities. Whether you’re passing your company to the next generation or cashing out for retirement, we help make sure your exit supports your bigger picture.

At Bankler, your exit and succession plan is handled entirely by highly qualified CPAs. From business valuation to tax strategy and transition execution, you’ll have experienced professionals guiding every step—so nothing gets overlooked and every detail is done right.
