Wealth Accelerator

Dew Wealth's Wealth Accelerator program for scaling entrepreneurs, delivering advanced tax strategies through the full DEAPR framework, comprehensive asset protection via ILATE, business value optimization through EMPIRE, and estate planning using STEWARD.

Overview

Wealth Accelerator is Dew Wealth's program designed for entrepreneurs whose growing income and business complexity demand more than foundational planning. At the $1.5 million to $3 million income level, the stakes of uncoordinated wealth management escalate dramatically. Every dollar of missed tax planning, every unprotected asset, and every year without a business value strategy costs more at this scale.

The Wealth Accelerator program activates the full depth of Dew Wealth's proprietary frameworks. Where Wealth Builder delivers the foundational layers, Wealth Accelerator unlocks advanced strategies across all five dimensions of the Wealth Wheel: tax planning, asset protection, investment management, estate planning, and business strategy.

The Wealth Accelerator operates on the same Fee-Only Advisory Model as all Dew Wealth programs: a fixed monthly fee with no AUM percentages, no commissions, and no product sales.

Who It's For

Wealth Accelerator serves the entrepreneur earning between $1.5 million and $3 million annually who faces one or more of these realities:

  • Business complexity has outgrown basic tax strategies, and six-figure tax savings opportunities are being missed
  • Multiple entities, real estate holdings, or alternative investments create coordination challenges
  • The business is approaching a scale where exit planning should begin, even if an exit is years away
  • Estate planning needs have grown beyond basic documents into trust strategies and wealth transfer
  • The entrepreneur is graduating from Wealth Builder as income and net worth have grown, or is entering Dew Wealth for the first time at this income level

Wealth Accelerator clients are typically in their late 30s through 50s. Their businesses generate enough complexity that advanced strategies become available and the cost of not implementing them becomes significant. At $2 million in annual income, leaving $300,000 to $500,000 on the table through suboptimal tax planning is not uncommon.

What You Get

Full DEAPR Tax Planning: The complete DEAPR Tax Planning Framework is deployed. Beyond the foundational strategies available at the Wealth Builder level, this includes advanced deduction strategies (cost segregation, captive insurance, charitable vehicles), entity restructuring for optimal tax flow-through, advanced retirement plan designs, and proactive planning for alternative investment tax treatment. The tax team works in continuous coordination with the investment and legal teams to ensure every decision is optimized across all dimensions.

Comprehensive ILATE Asset Protection: The full ILATE Asset Protection Framework is implemented across all five layers: Insurance, LLC structures, Asset positioning, Trust protection, and Exemption planning. Coverage is stress-tested against realistic liability scenarios. Entity structures are reviewed annually as the business evolves. Trust strategies begin layering in irrevocable structures for asset isolation.

EMPIRE Business Value Optimization: The EMPIRE Value Framework is applied to the entrepreneur's business. Even if an exit is years away, the six pillars (Earnings Optimization, Management Independence, Process Documentation, Intellectual Property Protection, Recurring Revenue Models, Exit Strategy Alignment) drive immediate operational improvements that increase current profitability while building long-term enterprise value. The EMPIRE assessment provides a baseline valuation and a roadmap for enhancement.

STEWARD Estate Planning: The STEWARD Estate Planning Framework moves beyond basic documents into strategic estate and wealth transfer planning. This includes irrevocable trust strategies (SLATs, ILITs, dynasty trusts as appropriate), gift tax planning, beneficiary optimization, and legacy planning that aligns with the family's values and goals. Business succession planning integrates with the estate plan to ensure continuity.

Advanced Investment Strategy: Portfolio management expands beyond the foundational Two Bucket Approach to include alternative investments, tax-loss harvesting optimization, and sophisticated asset location strategies. The investment team coordinates with the tax team on every rebalancing decision.

Full Wealth Wheel Coordination: A dedicated Linchpin Partner oversees all dimensions. Quarterly strategy reviews ensure that changes in any area (a new business entity, a real estate acquisition, a change in family circumstances) are reflected across all planning dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the practical difference between Wealth Builder and Wealth Accelerator?
Wealth Builder establishes the foundation: core tax planning, basic asset protection, investment management, and estate plan basics. Wealth Accelerator unlocks advanced strategies in every dimension. Full DEAPR means strategies like captive insurance, cost segregation, and sophisticated charitable planning become available. Full ILATE means multi-layer asset protection with trust structures. EMPIRE means active business value optimization. The difference is depth and sophistication, not just more of the same.
Do I need to be planning an exit to benefit from EMPIRE?
No. The EMPIRE framework improves business operations regardless of exit timeline. Earnings optimization, management independence, and process documentation make the business more profitable and less dependent on the founder today. If an exit happens in five or ten years, those improvements will already be in place. If it never happens, the business runs better and the founder has more freedom. EMPIRE is as much about current operations as future value.
At what point would I move to the full Fractional Family Office® tier?
When income exceeds $3 million annually, complexity typically demands the complete [Fractional Family Office®](/wiki/fractional-family-office) with full resource allocation. The transition point is also influenced by net worth, number of entities, real estate holdings, and family complexity. Your Linchpin Partner will proactively recommend the transition when the additional resources would produce meaningful incremental value.
