The 360 Framework

Tax. Investing. Estate. Planning. Coordinated.

The 360 Framework is what makes Cooper Norman Wealth different from a generalist advisor. Every recommendation runs through all four lenses, every quarter.

Why a Framework

Coordinated decisions outperform coordinated luck.

Most wealth advice is reactive, a portfolio review when markets move, an estate update when laws change, a tax conversation when April approaches. The 360 Framework runs all four lenses on every recommendation, every quarter, in the same conversation.

The 360 Decision Engine

One page. Every decision.

The 360 Decision Engine maps how tax, investing, estate, and planning decisions sequence and reinforce one another across a wealth engagement. Every recommendation we make traces back to it.

Step 02
The 360 Review

One meeting covers tax position, portfolio, estate posture, business interests, and goals.

Step 03
Proposal

A scoped engagement letter. Fees are fully disclosed in your advisory agreement and Form ADV.

Step 04
Coordination

Strategy documented and shared timely with your CPA team.

Step 05
Execution

Tax sequencing and reinvestment with both teams in the room.

Step 06
Quarterly Review

Quarterly deep review. Open-door access in between.


The framework is the differentiator.
