For years, a high-net-worth client has relied on Wipfli’s services in tax planning and compliance, as well as estate and gift tax planning. The client has been very pleased with the high level of attention and service provided by Wipfli.

The challenge

Due to health-related concerns, the client began needing more assistance and professional attention with investment and financial matters. Dissatisfied with their current investment and financial services, the client called Wipfli for recommendations for replacements.

The solution

Wipfli first attempted to reconcile the differences between the client and the current investment and financial services provider. In the process, the client determined that the relationship was irreparable and again asked Wipfli for a different solution.

Wipfli then consulted with the client about other options, including Wipfli’s extended coordinated services through a joint venture with affiliate Wipfli Financial Advisors. The client was very excited to hear about the fully integrated family office services Wipfli and Wipfli Financial could provide, including:

• Trusted investment advice
• Bill pay assistance
• Periodic transfer of funds when requested
• Coordinated financial, tax and estate planning services

The client had interviewed a number of other financial and investment service providers (e.g., brokers, trust departments, banks). Finding none as fully integrated and competitive as Wipfli and Wipfli Financial, the client signed on immediately.

The results

The client is able to relax knowing that all the investment, financial and tax complexities are being taken care of through Wipfli and Wipfli Financial’s integrated services. The synergistic and coordinated services provided by Wipfli’s private client team and the Wipfli Financial Advisor team are allowing the client to concentrate on staying healthy and living life to the fullest.
