CFP®-certified, business exit / sale strategy financial advisors in Memphis, TN
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
If you're preparing to sell your business, you need an advisor who understands the full financial impact beyond just the sale price. A common mistake is overlooking how the timing and structure of the sale affect your federal taxes and long-term wealth.
CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, which helps them integrate your business exit with your overall financial goals.
- Sale timing strategy. Ask how they evaluate the best time to sell considering market conditions and your personal financial situation.
- Tax impact analysis. Confirm they model federal tax consequences, including capital gains and potential alternative minimum tax effects.
- Post-sale planning. Look for guidance on managing proceeds, such as investment allocation and cash flow planning after the sale.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
