    Brendan Ganji

    Wealth Manager, Founder

    RED Night Capital LLC

    I didn't choose finance; I grew up in it. My father has spent his entire career as a CPA and Managing Director at Merrill Lynch, and I spent my childhood tagging along. Conference rooms, client calls, market conversations at the dinner table. By the time I was old enough to start my own career, I al... One thing I want my clients to know about me is... I believe most people are one good plan away from a completely different financial outcome. The strategies that protect wealth, reduce taxes, and create real security aren't complicated; they're just rarely explained or offered. My team and I's job is to close that gap, and to make sure the people I work with never leave value on the table simply because nobody showed them the options.

    What to look for in a financial professional for succession planning

    • Direct, ongoing experience with succession planning, not just a passing mention on their profile.
    • Fiduciary status, so their advice is legally required to serve your interests first.
    • Relevant credentials such as CFP, CFA, CPA, or a designation specific to your situation.
    • A fee structure you understand up front: flat fee, hourly, or a percentage of assets.
    • A minimum investment requirement that matches where you are today.
    • Clear communication and a service cadence that fits how often you want to meet.
