For the moment your equity becomes your net worth.
For the moment your equity becomes your net worth.

Vesting, lockups, when to sell, what you'll owe in taxes. Equity compensation raises questions most financial advisors aren't equipped for. Arca plans around all of it, and helps you see how your equity connects to the rest of your financial life.

Comprehensive equity and tax planning.

Investment & long-term planning

Arca is for people whose equity has become a real part of their net worth, the founders, executives, and longtime employees watching years of work turn liquid through an IPO, a vesting cliff, or a secondary sale. What they're looking for now is one advisor who understands equity compensation deeply and can fold it into a life, not just a portfolio.
Yes. Every Arca advisor is a fiduciary, legally and ethically bound to act in your best interest, always. We earn nothing from recommending one product over another, so your plan is shaped by your goals alone, not by what pays us.
Arca's minimum is $500,000 in investable assets, which generally excludes real estate, 529 plans, and 401(k)s you can't yet access before age 59½. If you're below that today, it's still worth a conversation. Depending on your situation and what's prompting your search for an advisor, Arca may well be the right fit.
Arca is a fee-only advisor, so what you pay is transparent and our incentives stay aligned with yours. For most clients, fees are based on a percentage of the assets we manage, subject to a minimum annual fee of $5,000. For more complex situations,, we may instead work under a flat-fee arrangement that reflects the scope involved. Either way, you'll know exactly what it costs before deciding to work with us.
Arca is a return to what wealth management was always supposed to be. Not a portfolio reviewed once a year, but one advisor who knows your whole life: what you've built, what you're working toward, and what your wealth is meant to make possible. It's the difference between being managed and being truly known, and the freedom that comes when the weight of it all is no longer yours to carry alone.
