Financial Architecture
The Comprehensive Blueprint
Would you build a custom home without an architect?
Have you constructed your financial affairs without one?
How would you know?
You have constructed your financial home over time, using the best options available when opportunities presented themselves. This may inadvertently have created a house constructed by multiple architects, many different styles that may or may not fit together.
Why not take the designs that we have used with great success for the world’s wealthiest families to remodel your own house?
As financial architects, we can offer you an overreaching, comprehensive, and cohesive design optimized for privacy, tax efficiency, and asset protection.
We are not here to replace your trusted business or investment advisors. Our role is to take what you have already accomplished and place it into a structure that will create a unified design for all your interests, a method we have used for the world’s wealthiest families, families with a wide variety of assets and financial arrangements.
At EWP Financial our design basics are the six principles of EWP: privacy, asset protection, tax shield, succession planning, compliance simplifier, and trust substitute.

The blueprint for your new, spectacular designer home is revealed in our White Paper, Expanded Worldwide Planning (EWP) At Its Best.
What Is an EWP Asset Structure?
The authority of Expanded Worldwide Planning (EWP) has been firmly established. Wikipedia has recognized our knowledge-based solutions for wealthy families by including the concept of EWP in their article on International Tax Planning. On this Wikipedia page, the six principles of EWP are explained. EWP is defined as:
“An element of international taxation created to implement directives from several tax authorities following the 2008 worldwide recession.”
The six principles of EWP are: privacy, asset protection, tax shield, succession planning, compliance simplifier, and trust substitute.
We are taking a cue from Wikipedia. Our white paper features the six principles of EWP.
EWP has the six principles that matter most to wealthy families throughout the world today—no matter where they are located. They are the building blocks of any successful asset structure.
Is It Legal?
It seems every few months that there is another revelation of a tax dodger using offshore accounts to avoid U.S. taxes. Here is a recent newspaper headline:
“The IRS Reals in a Whale of an Offshore Tax Cheat—and Goes for Another.”
Is an EWP Structure just another one of these schemes?
Our EWP Structures have existed since the early 1990s with no issues of any kind either from the IRS or the families who have employed these asset structures.
Can They Steal My Money?
The answer is, “No.” Why is this so? Because all your assets are held in separate accounts by a trustee. This is a similar arrangement to having a trust account at a bank. The bank becomes the trustee of the asset, but ownership does not change hands—you retain ownership of all the assets held in an EWP Structure.
Will I Be Audited?
We will use a multi-lane motorway or freeway as our analogy to show how EWP Structures are ideally positioned to serve the needs of wealthy families worldwide.
Where are EWP Structures positioned on this motorway?
The fast lane is for those drivers who are the risk takers, traveling at ever faster speeds until they hear the sound of a patrol car chasing them down. In the slow lane are those drivers who wish to drive the speed limit, or wish to travel at a leisurely pace to reach their destination. In the middle lanes are those drivers who wish to blend into the flow.
Not be the fastest on the road, or the slowest. In the universe of financial planning tools, EWP Structures are traveling in these middle lanes.
These middle lane drivers are avoiding the newest innovations in planning techniques championed by those in the fast lane, and, also, staying away from strategies that accomplish little which are adopted by those in the slow lane. The drivers in the middle lanes will reach their destination safely with little risk of a confrontation with the authorities, who are concentrating on the drivers in the fast lane.
By using EWP Structures, the families driving in the middle lanes accomplish the maximum amount of privacy, asset protection, and tax efficiency, and are fully compliant with tax authorities worldwide.
