PRESERVE MORE · PROTECT MORE · POSITION MORE · PASS MORE

You out-earned your structure.

Income scales. Structure doesn't … unless someone designs it. Our Team of multi-credentialed subject matter experts help you design and deploy the coordinated architecture that replaces your fragmented advice with one integrated plan … one blueprint … so you keep more, protect more, grow more, and pass more on with intention.

For U.S. self-made business owners earning $250K to $25M+ a year.
The Real Wealth Matrix™ · Four pillars, one outcome
The Real Problem

At a certain level of success, fragmented advice becomes expensive.

High income without structure is just a successful leak.

Your CPA may be smart. Your attorney may be smart. Your financial advisor may be smart.

But if no one is coordinating the whole picture, the gaps remain … in your taxes, your structure, your protection, and your family's clarity.

The problem is rarely bad advice. It's disconnected advice.

Where You Are

Built around where you are.

Fragmentation costs every successful owner … it just costs differently at every level. Find where you are. The architecture that we help you build scales with you.

$250K–$1M / year
Stop the leak. Build the foundation.

You're keeping shockingly little of what you finally earn. We stop the leak now … and build the structure while it's still simple, so the next level doesn't cost a fortune to fix.

Our Unique Mechanism

The Real Wealth Matrix™

Most people don't lose wealth from a lack of income. They lose it from a lack of structure. The Real Wealth Matrix™ is the proprietary framework we use to build it … four coordinated moves that most plans only attempt to handle piecemeal … one at a time … if at all.

01
Preserve
Keep More

Reduce unnecessary tax leakage with strategy built to survive scrutiny … not loopholes built to fail it.

02
Protect
Protect More

Structure and shield what you've built, before exposure ever finds it. Success without structure is fragile.

03
Position
Grow More

Put retained capital to work inside one intentional plan, where every decision is coordinated with the others.

04
Pass
Transfer More

Move wealth to the people and causes you choose, with clarity instead of chaos … intentionally, by Design.

The Model

The family office, made fractional.

The wealthiest families have run on coordinated, in-house teams for a century. We made that model fractional and virtual … so you get the coordination, without building or paying for the staff to get it.

One Team

Tax, legal structure, protection, investments, and legacy … under one roof, talking to one another.

One Blueprint

A single coordinated plan, so every dollar and every decision reinforces the others instead of fighting them.

One Standard

Credentialed, defensible, and built to last. Quiet authority … not loud, untested advice.

The Founder

In the Game of Wealth, I'm both a player and a coach.

“I've spent nearly 30 years watching successful business owners make the same expensive mistake … they make money faster than they build structure.”

Edward began his career with the United States Department of Justice … until he discovered he didn't much care for working for the government. He moved into the private sector and, in 1998, launched his first financial planning practice.

Over nearly 30 years he built and scaled that firm alongside a tax and accounting practice, a fractional CFO practice, and a generational wealth consulting firm … integrating them into the Fractional, Virtual, Multi-Family Office that is Uplevel By Design, LLC today.

From the very beginning he specialized in advanced financial planning and intergenerational wealth transfer for high-income, high-net-worth business owners across the country. But his passion was teaching … so he took what had long been reserved for the ultra-wealthy inside single-family offices and began sharing it in public libraries, with first-generation family business owners and anyone determined to improve their financial and business life.

That same passion for telling the truth about the Game of Wealth now reaches millions across social media … everyone who wants to Uplevel. His conviction is simple: the rules of wealth are knowable, and if you know the rules, you can play to win.

In Their Words

Clarity, where there used to be guessing.

★★★★★
I was getting one piece from this side, one piece from that side. Edward brought it all together … he's the linchpin right now in the industry.
Kamal · Uplevel Member
★★★★★
The deciding factor was their willingness to let my CPA verify IRS compliance. The peace of mind I now have, knowing my entire financial ecosystem is structurally aligned, is truly invaluable.
Greg · via Trustpilot
★★★★★
I've paid tens of thousands of dollars to get this type of information … and these are structures I'd never even heard before. It all makes total sense.
Chris · Uplevel Member
★★★★★
It's like having people on my team looking out for the things I couldn't possibly think of myself.
Zach · Uplevel Member
★★★★★
Edward has been extremely helpful, genuine, and selfless in how he shares his knowledge. Very few companies still operate with that old-school consistency, integrity, and genuine care.

★★★★★
I'm learning how to structure this so I can protect my assets and pass them on to my family. These calls give me that insight.
