About Will Hullinger

Working at a company like Tesla, Rocket, or another of Detroit\'s great innovators means a significant part of your net worth is likely tied to equity compensation. Every day I work to help professionals turn this into lasting wealth.A complex mix of RSUs, stock options, and ESPP shares. You\'re sitting on life-changing wealth, but it\'s concentrated in one stock. You may feel stuck, worried about volatility, and unsure how to diversify without facing a massive tax bill.I help professionals in your exact situation. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, my mission is to simplify these complex financial concepts.I specialize in building clear, actionable strategies for equity compensation, tax optimization, and retirement planning. I work with my clients to create a disciplined, long-term plan to turn that \"company stock\" into your family\'s diversified, secure, and lasting wealth.My background is different from most advisors.My career spans nearly two decades in financial services, but before I began working directly with families, I served as a financial controller and compliance liaison at a hedge fund. After that, I was the Chief Operating Officer for a firm that exclusively managed wealth for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families. I have spent my career on the \"inside,\" building the institutional-grade systems and managing the very complexities that my clients are now beginning to face.In 2020, I founded my own fiduciary firm, Verity Wealth Partners, right here in Detroit. My goal was simple: to bring that UHNW-level expertise to my own community, fostering deeper, more meaningful relationships and making a real impact in the city my family has called home since 2013.To scale that mission, my Verity team partnered with Farther, the nation\'s most intelligent wealth firm. This partnership gives my clients the best of both worlds: the high-touch, fiduciary guidance of a boutique founder, powered by an AI-enhanced, cutting-edge technology platform. It automates the busy work and provides a modern, transparent experience, allowing me to focus 100% on what matters most: your strategy, your goals, and your family.If you\'re ready to build a clear strategy for your equity and your future, let\'s have a conversation.When I\'m not in the office, you can find me staying active, smoking meat, enjoying an occasional round of golf, or relaxing with my family.
