Searching for a CPA to Guide Your Business Exit or Retirement? – When small business owners search for a “CPA specializing in retirement planning near me,” they’re often looking for more than investment advice. They want clarity around how to transition out of the business they’ve built—and how to do it wisely.

Business Exit or Retirement

At MSM Advisors, we don’t market ourselves as retirement planners. Instead, we work with small business owners to develop holistic exit and succession strategies, including the financial steps that support retirement when the time is right.

Retirement Isn’t Just a Financial Plan—It’s a Business Strategy

For business owners, retirement is rarely as simple as walking away. It’s deeply tied to the future of your company, your family, and your financial well-being.

We help clients:

  • Plan for succession and ownership transitions
  • Structure compensation and distributions in a tax-optimized way
  • Use tools like defined benefit plans, 401(k)s, or SEP IRAs within the larger tax strategy
  • Prepare for value extraction, whether through sale, transfer, or wind-down

All of this is designed to help you exit your business on your terms—with the confidence that your financial future is secure.

The MSM Approach: Strategic. Tax-Aware. Business-Focused.

Based in Lawrenceville, Georgia, MSM Advisors works with small business owners across industries who want a strategic partner, not just a tax preparer. Our role is to optimize your financial path—whether you’re planning five years out or making decisions right now.

We combine tax planning, financial insight, and business strategy to help you navigate the complexities of succession, sale, or retirement. You don’t need to have it all figured out—we’ll walk you through your options.
