Certified Financial Planners in Irvine

Let’s face it: financial planning is a challenging task. It demands a substantial amount of time and effort just to explore your options, not to mention crafting a plan that suits your needs.

When you decide to seek professional help, many financial advisors in Irvine often rely on their own experience to create a portfolio, disregarding your unique circumstances.

This is why many people end up with advice that doesn’t truly align with their personal goals.

This approach helps you reduce tax liabilities now and throughout retirement, ensuring you make the best decisions for you and your family. Unlike other firms, we don't offer pre-made plans or charge extra for personalized attention.

California’s Tax Considerations and How Falcon Wealth Planning can Help

Navigating California’s complex tax landscape requires expert financial guidance. With some of the highest income and capital gains tax rates in the country, as well as evolving estate and property tax laws, strategic planning is essential to preserving and growing your wealth.

At Falcon Wealth Planning, we specialize in tax-efficient financial strategies tailored to high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and retirees.

  • California has a progressive state income tax system that can reach up to 13.3%, among the highest in the nation. We assist clients in implementing tax-saving strategies, including tax-efficient investment allocations, retirement planning, and business deductions, to minimize taxable income.

  • Unlike most states, California does not differentiate between short-term and long-term capital gains—all are taxed at ordinary income rates. We help clients develop tax-efficient investment strategies, real estate exit plans, and diversification techniques to optimize after-tax returns.

  • While California does not have a state-level estate tax, high-net-worth individuals may still face federal estate taxes. Our estate planning approach includes trust structures, charitable gifting, and family wealth transfers to minimize estate tax liability and ensure generational wealth preservation.

  • Proposition 13 limits property tax increases, but Proposition 19 has changed how inherited properties are taxed, affecting generational wealth transfer. We guide clients through property tax planning, exemptions, and reassessment strategies to reduce tax exposure and protect real estate assets.

  • Whether you're a small business owner, corporate executive, or transitioning to early retirement, we develop customized financial roadmaps focused on tax efficiency, retirement income strategies, and wealth preservation.
