Armature Wealth Partners

The Operating Room Has Protocols.
Why Doesn't Your Wealth?

Your finances need what the OR already has: protocols, checklists, and one person responsible when things go wrong.

Right now, your CPA files returns. Your advisor allocates portfolios. Your attorney drafts docs.
Nobody is running the code.

Trusted by anesthesiologists, surgeons, and high-income medical professionals

Let Me Guess Your Current Situation

You make $350K-$500K annually

You pay $120K-$180K in taxes (and suspect you are overpaying)

Your advisor put you in a "balanced portfolio" of stocks and bonds

Your CPA files your returns but never calls with strategies

You have $2M-$4M in assets but feel no closer to "retirement on the job"

You have thought about oil & gas or real estate but do not know who to trust

Sound familiar? That is not your fault. That is the system working exactly as designed.

The Silent Bleed in Your Financial Plan

In critical care, we have a saying: "The patient died because nobody was in charge."

In wealth management, the same thing happens—just slower. These four gaps are where high-income professionals hemorrhage six figures annually.

Tax Drag

Missing Augusta rule, cost segregation, oil & gas deductions

$80K-$150K

Lost annually in avoidable taxes

Passive Income Void

100% dependent on active income, no asset income

$40K-$100K

Missed passive cash flow annually

Volatility Penalty

Overexposed to one market, one career, no alternatives

$30K-$80K

Lost to unnecessary risk annually

Total Annual Leak: $150K-$350K

Over 10 years, that is $1.5M-$3.5M left on the table

From Fragile to Resilient

Most high-income professionals have all their eggs in two baskets: their job and the stock market. We build a diversified portfolio that actually protects you.

❌ Before: The Fragile Portfolio

Fragile portfolio - before coordination
  • 100% dependent on W-2 income
  • 90% in stocks/bonds (one market)
  • No tax optimization strategies
  • Advisors working in silos

✅ After: The Resilient Portfolio

Resilient portfolio - after coordination
  • Multiple income streams (passive + active)
  • 20-30% in alternatives (oil & gas, PE, real estate)
  • Tax-efficient structures saving $80K+ annually
  • Coordinated strategy with one quarterback

The Four Hidden Six-Figure Gaps

Most high-income professionals are leaving money on the table in these four areas. Each one costs you five to six figures annually.

1. Tax Drag

You have never had a serious, coordinated conversation about tax strategies

Your CPA processes returns but does not bring proactive strategies. Meanwhile, you are missing:

  • Augusta Rule: $14K-$30K tax-free income annually
  • Cost Segregation: $50K-$150K in year-one deductions
  • Oil & Gas IDC: 70-85% first-year deductions
  • GP/LP Structures: Active + passive tax benefits

Typical Annual Cost: $80,000-$150,000

2. Passive Income Void

High W-2/1099 income but no durable streams that replace shifts

You are 100% dependent on showing up to work. If you cannot work for 3-6 months, your income stops. You need:

  • Commercial real estate distributions
  • Oil & gas producing well income
  • Private credit/debt investments
  • Royalties and asset income

Typical Annual Cost: $40,000-$100,000 in missed cash flow

3. Volatility Penalty

Portfolio tied to one market + one career

A 30% market drawdown or forced early retirement would derail your plans. You need diversification across:

  • Alternative investments (private equity, oil & gas, real estate)
  • Uncorrelated asset classes
  • Inflation-protected assets

Typical Annual Cost: $30,000-$80,000 in unnecessary risk exposure

4. Coordination Gap

CPA files. Advisor allocates. Attorney drafts. No one is responsible for the whole picture

When your advisors do not talk to each other, you get:

  • Missed opportunities (CPA says no without exploring options)
  • Conflicting advice from different professionals
  • No Investment Policy Statement tying it all together
  • Reactive decisions instead of proactive strategy

Typical Annual Cost: $50,000-$100,000 in drift and misalignment

Why This Hits Anesthesiologists Harder

You did not go into medicine to become a tax expert. But your income structure puts you in the crosshairs.

High W-2 Income, Limited Deductions

Most tax strategies do not work for employees. You need access to alternative investments that unlock powerful deductions like oil & gas IDC, cost segregation, and GP structures.

No Equity in the Practice

You cannot sell your "business" at retirement. Every dollar must come from assets you build outside of work. That means you need passive income streams—now, not later.

Liability + Burnout Risk

One lawsuit or one surgery too many, and your income stops. You need a financial structure that protects you even if you cannot (or do not want to) work full-time.

Time-Starved Decision Making

You are making $400K/year decisions between cases. That is when expensive mistakes happen. You need a system that works while you focus on medicine.

"You delegate airway management to protocols. Why not delegate wealth management the same way?"

You became an anesthesiologist because you are good under pressure and you trust systems. We build financial systems with the same rigor you apply in the OR.

The Solution: A Financial Quarterback

You do not need more advisors. You need someone coordinating the ones you have—and taking responsibility for the whole picture.

What We Do Differently

  • Coordinate Your Team: We make your CPA, attorney, and advisors work together
  • Proactive Strategies: Augusta rule, cost segregation, oil & gas, alternatives
  • Build Passive Income: Replace shifts with cash-flowing assets
  • Investment Policy Statement: Written plan that ties everything together
  • Take Responsibility: One person accountable for your whole financial picture

Retire on the Job

Our mission is simple: Help you work because you want to, not because you must.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Real results from coordinating the whole picture (names changed for privacy)

Dr. K., Anesthesiologist, Age 43

The Problem: High income, high taxes, zero passive income

Before:

  • $420K income, $140K in taxes
  • 100% stock/bond portfolio (no alternatives)
  • Zero passive income, working 60+ hour weeks
  • CPA never mentioned tax strategies beyond 401(k)

After 12 Months:

Tax Savings

$87,000

Augusta rule + cost seg + oil & gas IDC

Passive Income

$3,200/mo

From vetted real estate & energy operators

Alternatives Allocation

22%

Was 0% before

Peace of Mind

Priceless

Stopped checking portfolio during crashes

"His CPA did not know about oil & gas deductions. His advisor did not offer alternatives. Nobody was coordinating. We became the quarterback."

Dr. M., Anesthesiologist, Age 51

The Problem: Wanted to retire in 5 years but the numbers did not work

The Diagnosis:

  • Massive tax drag ($130K/year going to IRS)
  • No passive income (100% dependent on shifts)
  • Over-concentrated in tech stocks (former employer RSUs)
  • Would need to work 10+ more years to hit target

The Treatment Protocol:

  • Year 1: $94K in tax savings through strategic deductions
  • Years 1-3: Built $8K/mo passive income from real estate & energy
  • Year 4: Hit "retirement on the job" number—now works 2 days/week by choice

"I did not need more money. I needed someone to coordinate the money I already had."

I Paid $374K in Tuition So You Do Not Have To

Paramedic → ER Nurse → Fire Lieutenant → LP Investor → GP → Family Office Coordinator

$374K

Lost as LP Investor

Every strategy I recommend, I have vetted with my own money first. I have lost money in real estate (2019), oil & gas (2020), and private credit (2021). You learn more from losses than wins.

Your finances? Same problem. Different stakes. That is why I exist in this space—to be the one person accountable for the whole picture.

Find Out Exactly Where You Are Bleeding

The Freedom Index takes 10 minutes and shows you precisely where the six-figure gaps are in your financial plan.

You Will Get:

  • Your specific tax drag score (most score 35-50 out of 100 here)
  • Whether you are over-concentrated in public markets
  • How far you are from "retirement on the job"
  • Where the low-hanging fruit is (some save $60K+ in year one)

Most anesthesiologists score 40-70 out of 100. That means there is $150K-$300K in annual optimization potential.
