Third Act Wealth Management partners with high achievers at the top of their trade who don't want the recliner-and-casserole type of retirement. They know there's more to do, more things to see, and more life to live.

You probably have an advisor, a CPA, an attorney, maybe an insurance agent, and each is good at their piece. But your money doesn't live in pieces, and for most families nobody is looking at the whole picture at once. That empty seat in the middle is where the expensive gaps hide. It's the seat Third Act was built to fill.

Each Advisor Is Capped at 100 Families

Most of the industry focuses on breadth. An advisor carrying several hundred households can only skim the surface of each one.
We cap the roster at 100 families per advisor on purpose, so there's room to go a mile deep with yours: your goals, your family, and a plan shaped to your life. You work with one advisor who knows your whole picture, backed by a real team, never handed to a rotating service desk.
It's simple math: fewer families means more of your advisor's time, thinking, and attention for your family.

The Depth of Planning Usually Reserved for Far Larger Fortunes

Every plan here is built under the direction of a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, drawing on thousands of investment options through LPL Financial, a Fortune 500 company, with no proprietary products.
We read your tax return line by line. We check your estate documents against your actual accounts. Because your life keeps changing, we re-measure the plan at every review instead of filing it away in a drawer.

Up to 20 Hours of Real Planning Work, Upfront

We give before we receive. Every Third Act relationship starts with a no-cost, no-obligation Second Opinion process on your actual numbers. You walk away knowing three things: where you really stand, what's being missed (whether that's a tax window closing, an investment option you were never shown, or a gap between your advisors), and what we'd do about it.
That clarity is yours to keep whether you ever become a client or not. And if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
Our Approach

We believe life moves in three acts. The first is about learning. The second is about earning. The third, with the right planning, has the opportunity to be the sweetest of all, with more time, more freedom, and more clarity than any chapter before it.

Nick and Third Act are awesome to work with. They patiently explain the process and the details well before we committed to partnering with them. By the time we committed it was very obvious to choose Third act. Nick and his team are extremely responsive to all of our questions. I would overwhelmingly recommend Third Act to anyone.
