THE THESIS
Purpose-built for life's defining moments.
At the critical inflection points — retirement, a business exit, a career built around meaning — most people have not yet asked who they want to become next. Presidio shows up at those moments and helps clients align their wealth with that answer.

How We Built It · The Roadmap
Every stage of growth has been intentional. Infrastructure before expansion. The right hire before the next phase. The question is never how we grow. We know how. The question is always who unlocks the next level.
Chief Operating Officer · January 2025
Operational Foundation
Infrastructure before everything else. A world-class COO was brought in to build the operational backbone: bulletproof compliance, seamless advisor onboarding, and firm systems designed for an order of magnitude more scale than where we stand today.

Growth Engine
Presidio hired a Chief Growth Officer who has already done this. Not someone who has studied it or planned it, but someone who built a media-driven business from scratch and knows exactly how to grow through content, education, and audience at scale. That experience is now being deployed for Presidio.

Seminar digitization, AI tooling, data infrastructure. This is the layer that will allow every growth effort to compound rather than plateau.

The Three Verticals · One Ecosystem
Three verticals. Each serves a distinct life transition. Each has its own dedicated leader — we are actively searching for the right person to lead Purpose-Built Retirement, Purpose-Built Exit, and Purpose-Built Advisors. Click any card to expand.
VERTICAL I · ACTIVE
I
Purpose-Built Retirement
Career → Retirement transition
PodcastSeminar 101WorkshopsDigital
Active · Vertical leader search underway
The Retirement 101 seminar is converting into a scalable digital platform. The podcast anchors a content flywheel reaching pre-retirees and HNW executives at scale. Themes: identity after work, purpose discovery, longevity, legacy planning.
This is the stable foundation and the broadest client audience. Inbound clients flow directly to Wealth Management. The CEO has been the face of this vertical — we are looking for the right leader to own and scale it.
VERTICAL II · BUILDING
II
Purpose-Built Exit
Founder → Post-exit life
Exit PlanningFounder AdvisoryPodcastCOI Network
Pipeline active · Leader search underway
Dedicated practice for entrepreneurs and founders navigating liquidity events. Serves both the financial and identity dimensions of exiting. $300M+ in business owner transitions are already in the pipeline with no dedicated capacity to serve them yet.
The vertical leader will be the face of this practice. Long-term, Exit clients flow into Wealth Management for ongoing advisory, supported by Tax and Accounting Services at scale.
VERTICAL III · ACTIVE SEARCH
III
Purpose-Built Advisors
We are looking for the top advisors who are looking for their forever home.
RecruitingOnboardingCultureRetention
Vertical leader search underway
Purpose-Built Advisors is a content play and a relationship play. The same media-first model — podcast, social, YouTube, LinkedIn — speaks directly to advisors who are looking for something more than a payout grid. Networks and existing relationships accelerate what the content engine starts.
The COO plays a key role in building confidence in the transition: advisors need to know their move to Presidio will be seamless, compliant, and well-supported. A vertical leader for Purpose-Built Advisors is also part of the long-term build, someone who can be the face of what it means to find your forever home as an advisor.

The Client Journey · From First Touch to Forever
→
1
Content and Education
First Touch
Podcast, YouTube, seminar, social. Client encounters Presidio through education, not a pitch. Trust is built before any conversation begins.
→
2
Vertical Relationship
They Raise Their Hand
Client enters the vertical that matches their life stage — retirement, exit, or advisory career. The vertical leader becomes their trusted guide through the transition.
→
3
Wealth Management
The Long-Term Home
Post-transition, the client moves into an ongoing wealth management relationship. Portfolio management, financial planning, and long-term advisory. This is where AUM lives.
→
4
Tax and Accounting
The Relationship Deepens
Tax strategy, accounting, and planning wrap around the wealth management relationship. For exit clients, tax is central to the transaction itself. For all clients, it increases depth and stickiness.
5
Advocacy and Referral
The Flywheel Turns
A client served exceptionally across all three dimensions — advisory, tax, and transition — becomes an advocate. Referrals feed the verticals. The platform compounds on itself.
Integration Points · Where the Layers Interact
Exit Planning
Tax & Accounting
Co-primary for business owners
For a business owner navigating an exit, tax and accounting is not a downstream add-on. It is central to the transaction. The exit plan and the tax strategy are built together, not sequentially. This is a key differentiator for Presidio's Exit vertical.
Wealth Management
Tax & Accounting
Stickier, deeper relationships
When a client's investments and their taxes are both handled by Presidio, the relationship becomes much harder to leave. Tax and Accounting reinforces every existing WM relationship and materially increases lifetime client value and retention.
Capacity
Scales with every vertical
As Retirement and Exit generate more inbound, Purpose-Built Advisors provides the advisory capacity to serve them. The more advisors who join Presidio as their forever home, the more clients can be taken on. Growth in the client verticals directly justifies and funds advisor expansion. It is a self-reinforcing loop.
The Platform Foundation
The layer beneath all layers
Operations, compliance, technology, and the media engine serve all verticals simultaneously. No vertical has to build its own infrastructure from scratch — it inherits what already exists. This is what makes standing up a new vertical faster and more capital-efficient than any traditional firm could achieve.
The Firm · Two Ways to See It
Not every vertical needs a C-suite title. Below are two views of how Presidio is organized: who owns what function, and how the client value stream flows from marketing through to firm intelligence.

WHY WE ARE HERE
We built the foundation. Now we need the right leader.
The question is never how we grow. We know how. The question is always who unlocks the next level. We are looking for the face and leader of Purpose-Built Exit.
