Run Your Business Like A Public Company

As successful business owners, we face so many challenges every single day. Managing our team, market conditions, the economy, competition, and cashflow management to name a few. And with all of these constantly shifting priorities, it is important to control what you can control in your business and personal financial life.

You are taking so much risk that you need to implement strategies to minimize the risks that you can control, increase cashflow, and protect and grow your wealth. The wealthy and big corporations are systematic and focused in how they leverage these strategies. And you can do the same without an army of CPA’s or tax attorneys. The key is working with advisors who focus on business owners and use the same strategies in their business.

They have saved me six figures in taxes...

"Chris and Echelon helped me navigate the transition from being an employed physician (W2 income) to a contract one (1099 income) by setting up my LLC, formulating tax strategies, along with handling all aspects including maintaining payroll and my cash balance retirement plan.

They have saved me six figures in taxes, and have been a financial quarterback for me along the way for many other issues. I would recommend them for physicians looking for tax and financial advice."

“Chris has been a great advisor over the last decade, from when we started a family to a major life transition now. He’s walked me through products I need (and those I don’t), and helped me think through taxation and business planning for my goals. I’m so grateful.”

“I’ve known Chris for over a decade and he has managed my accounts for just as long. He’s extremely informative and patient when explaining the strategies he will be executing. I am very satisfied with the level of service and how quickly he responds to any questions or concerns I have. Even through these past few years he has kept me informed with the current market and eased any concerns I have with my accounts. I highly recommend him to everyone I know and have complete trust in him. Lastly, he’s just a really good guy.”

“Chris Wilbratte at Echelon has provided me with years of guidance on a wide range of financial matters. His experience and expertise with navigating the financial aspects of life events has been for me, personally, priceless. He has gone out of his way on multiple occasions to assist with aspects of these transitions by offering sound advice and options based on his knowledge of financial policies. He’s always been both willing and able to lay out options in detail and speak to how each option will play out. I’d recommend Chris, without hesitation, for all things financial - to anyone with financial goals.”

I am especially thankful for his ability to maximize my gains...

"I have been a client of Chris Wilbratte and Echelon Financial for many years, and Chris has become a personal friend. Chris's knowledge of tax strategy, financial vehicles, retirement planning, and many other areas of wealth management have proven to be invaluable. As a physician, I am especially thankful for his ability to maximize my gains through his experience and insight."

I am especially thankful for his ability to maximize my gains...

“We have been working with Chris Wilbratte at Echelon Financial for nearly ten years now and couldn't be happier. Chris has become like family. He is professional, understanding, knowledgeable, and very relatable. He always makes time to meet with us to walk through our finances and investments and offer advice. Chris takes the time to explain everything and constantly helps us make the right decisions to secure our financial future. He has helped us develop our financial plan tailored to our financial goals and retirement objectives. He also holds our Wills and understands our wishes for our son should something happen to us, and that is a huge piece of mind to know that Chris will make sure that he is taken care of.

There are no hidden commission fees; he is honest, transparent, and has his client's best interests in mind. We also use Echelon Financial Tax and CPA services for our personal and business taxes, and Kyle, the CPA, is incredible and knowledgeable about tax laws.

I am so happy we have Chris and his fantastic team for our financial and accounting needs, and I have recommended his services to friends and family. Give them a call today!”

They have saved me six figures in taxes...

“I’ve worked with Chris and his team for the last 12 years. He has been a phenomenal sounding board and provided great and selfless advice. He has steered me away from things that would’ve made him money but we’re in my best interest because he knew my long-term goals. I trust him and recommend him to people I know regularly.”
