As potential clients look for advisors to handle their investments and overall financial planning, it’s sometimes difficult to differentiate one firm from another as the investment process becomes more commoditized.
How We As Wealth Advisors Add Value For Clients
1. Enhancing Client Portfolios Through Alternative Investments
One area that differentiates Konza Global Wealth Group from other Wealth Management firms and increases value to clients is by utilizing alternative investments within client portfolios. We believe this provides enhanced diversification apart from strictly focusing on public markets, in addition to producing opportunities for better return outcomes with the potential for lower volatility.
2. A Detailed and Client-Focused Planning Approach
We conduct initial and follow-up meetings with a potential client to understand their short and long-term goals, current resources, along with financial concerns and other critical data. As part of a client engaging with our firm, we review documents such as tax returns, current paystubs, retirement account statements, and other relevant data that Konza Global incorporates in the financial and tax planning process.
3. Uncovering Tax Savings and Overlooked Opportunities
We request these documents to make the planning process more efficient, but also to uncover tax savings and other items that could financially benefit the client they or another Advisor has overlooked. We believe it’s important for clients to understand the detailed reviews and added value we can provide by thoroughly studying and analyzing their financial situation and developing a roadmap for the future.
4. A Real Example of Value Through Tax Review
A current example of how the detailed analysis provided a financial benefit for an individual is based on a review of their tax returns. My background and experience as a CPA has helped broaden my effectiveness as a Wealth Advisor as it relates to the financial planning process. On examining their 2024 tax return, I noticed they were providing consulting services as an LLC. In addition, their tax return reflected social security taxes paid on all their net income from the LLC. I asked if their LLC had filed the S-Corporation election when it was established back in 2022.
5. Delivering Tangible Financial Results
The individual said they had not filed Form 2553 to qualify as an S-Corporation. Realizing the late classification could provide relief under Rev. Procedure 2009-41 for up to three years and 75 days, we immediately filed Form 8832 along with Form 2553 for the Entity Classification Election as an S-Corp.
We then coordinated with one of the CPA firms we work with to amend the individual’s returns for 2022 through 2024. This resulted in a sizable return for the individual. While the above example is one of many our disciplined process has uncovered for clients, it represents Konza Global’s normal operational procedures in our pursuit of adding value for clients.
Why Comprehensive Financial Planning Matters
While investment management is a key part of building wealth, it’s only one piece of the bigger picture. Comprehensive financial planning ensures that every aspect of a client’s financial life including taxes, retirement, estate strategy, insurance, and cash flow works together in a coordinated and efficient manner.
At Konza Global, we place significant importance on understanding the “why” behind each client’s financial goals. Through in-depth conversations and data analysis, we create tailored plans designed to help clients build sustainable wealth and minimize unnecessary risks. This integrated approach allows us to identify gaps, uncover hidden savings, and ensure every financial decision supports long-term objectives.
What Makes Konza Global Different
At Konza Global Wealth Group, we believe true differentiation comes from the depth of our process and the quality of our relationships, not just investment performance. While many firms focus primarily on portfolio management, we take a more holistic approach that integrates financial planning, tax strategy, and alternative investments to help clients achieve meaningful, long-term results.
Our team brings together decades of combined experience in wealth management and tax planning, which allows us to identify opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. We emphasize collaboration, transparency, and education throughout every step of the client journey. By aligning strategies with each client’s goals and financial landscape, we aim to deliver clarity, confidence, and measurable results.
