Wealth Management & Planning Services for Coaches and Professionals
Financial Services for Sports Professionals
Basketball is a passion of ours. We’ve incorporated our life-long love for the sport into our company’s very fabric by implementing financial programs and offerings that fully help to address the needs of clients in the sports profession.
As a coach or sports professional, you have complex and dynamic needs when it comes to wealth management and investment planning.
Often where you live can be temporary, your benefits vary among institutions, your salary never follows a continuous path, and employment opportunities are scarce.
At Oxford Harriman & Company, we understand the dynamic nature of your career, and we are here to support coaches, players and sports executives in all aspects of wealth management and investment planning.
- Review & evaluate benefit plans offered to coaches, players and executives
- Determine how much you should defer in retirement plans, as well as how to allocate these assets
- Handle choices relating to retirement plans and deferred compensation when changing jobs
- Determine how much money will be needed to educate your children and when and how you should start saving for these goals
- How much you need for retirement, as well as developing a model of different retirement scenarios based on dynamic sport career assumptions
- When do you need life insurance and how much will you need to adequately protect your family
- Determine if you have the right team of professionals to help you achieve your career & life goals (agent, financial advisor, public relations, insurance, CPA, attorney, concierge)
The Unique Financial Needs of Coaches
If you work as a coach, your career path differs from most occupations. Long hours, extensive travel, and more frequent job changes are part of the profession.
Also, your earnings path differs vastly from other professions. A career in coaching may mean working for nearly free at times while your peers are making close to six figures. A coach can find him or herself in a transition period, between positions, where living off savings becomes a necessity.
And in the world of coaching, prime earning years can occur at any time in your career. It is not uncommon for a coach to earn a large percentage of their lifetime earnings within a single contract.
You need to embrace this financial reality, as it’s essential to creating your overall plan.
Retirement for Sports Professionals
Many of our corporate clients have the opportunity to retire on their own terms. But this is often not the case for professionals in your arena.
Many times the world of sports will retire you, and it can occur when you least expect it.
So how many chances do you have to get this right? The answer is usually one. Everything you will work for your entire life depends on getting this right the first and only time.
Our Promise To You
