We believe in success in business regardless of the industry. Often to accomplish progress, we need to find the right resources—and this is where Lumina shines its brightest. We place a unique focus around consulting advisors who are seeking independence and assist their firms by creating unique strategies, succession development, develop operational efficiencies, and ultimately increase their productivity post-transition. I guide wire-house advisors in the break-away process to independence while developing the new firm’s operational platforms, succession strategies, and growth strategies exclusive to each firm’s objectives. I collaborate with independent financial firms to advise for mergers and acquisitions. I support them in developing M&A strategies, assisting in the firm due diligence, proforma creations, valuations, deal structures, transition and tuck-in consulting, post-closing. Lumina in Latin means to “to bring light”. At Lumina Consulting we do exactly that for your business. Our mission is using our “real life” experiences to help you identify issues, develop solutions, and provide guiding ideas that accomplish the desired objectives of your business. In short, we are here to bring “light” to unique solutions meeting your needs. https://luminaconsults.com/ ══ SPECIALTIES ══ Chief Operating Officer | Founding Partner | Portfolio Management | Wealth Management | Investments | Asset Management | Marketing | Mutual Funds | Alternatives Investments | Finance | Economics | Financial Services | Financial Modeling | Hedge Funds | Strategic Planning | Financial Analysis | Strategic Financial Planning | Financial Planning | Leadership | Management | Multigenerational Wealth Planning | Securities
