Large-firm, liquidity event planning financial advisors in New York
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.
When you’re preparing to sell a business, receive a large inheritance, or cash out significant investments, you need an advisor who understands the complexities of liquidity event planning. Without focused expertise, it’s easy to overlook tax timing or miss opportunities to protect your wealth during these transitions. Large-firm advisors often have access to broader resources and specialized teams that can support your planning.
- Tax timing strategies. Ask how they help you manage the timing of income and capital gains to minimize your tax burden during liquidity events.
- Cash flow management. Confirm how they plan for your short- and long-term cash needs after a major liquidity event to keep your finances stable.
- Risk mitigation. Inquire about their approach to protecting your assets from market swings or unexpected expenses following a liquidity event.
- Coordination with other professionals. See how they work with your accountants, attorneys, or estate planners to create a cohesive plan around your liquidity event.
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
