Where equity compensation drives the planning
Contact Us

Tysons and McLean are home to some of the highest-paid Korean-American professionals in the DMV — senior engineers and executives at Amazon (HQ2 is in nearby Arlington), Capital One (McLean headquarters), Booz Allen, Accenture Federal, Freddie Mac (McLean headquarters), and Hilton (McLean headquarters). The compensation structure here is distinct: base salary is only part of the story; RSUs, bonuses, stock options, and deferred compensation dominate the picture.

The Korean-American community here is professional-class — more Vienna than Annandale in feel. The McLean Korean Presbyterian Church on Old Dominion Drive serves much of the local professional congregation. Families typically drive to Annandale or Fairfax for Korean groceries and larger community events.

Who we work with in Tysons & McLean
Our Tysons and McLean clients bring a specific planning challenge: a large share of their wealth is tied up in the stock of a single employer. Whether that's Amazon, Capital One, or a more recent tech IPO, the question of when to diversify, how to exercise options tax-efficiently, how to plan around RSU vest schedules, and how to hedge concentrated-position risk is at the center of their financial lives.

Beyond equity compensation, many clients here also face complex bonus structures, non-qualified deferred compensation plans, and 10b5-1 trading plan considerations. This is specialized work — and one of our areas of focus.

Meet our Team

We’re a small, senior team. When you work with IPM, you work directly with your advisor - not handed off to a junior associate.

How IPM Advisory works
01

Bilingual by design.

Every conversation can happen in Korean, English, or both. Meetings, documents, and ongoing communication adapt to the client — not the other way around.

02

Fee-only, not commission.

We are a Registered Investment Advisor with a fiduciary obligation to our clients. No product sales, no hidden commissions.

03

Tailored, not templated.

We don't run a standard portfolio for every client. If your situation involves a pending RSU vest, a Korean inheritance, a practice buy-in, or a planned business sale — that goes at the center of your plan, not the footnote.

04

Part of a three-tier ecosystem.

Clients grow. We grow with them. When a client's needs expand past IPM's scope, we coordinate with our family office affiliate, Wealthy & Wise Family Office.

Not sure where you fit?

If you're earlier in your wealth-building journey, our sister firm Invested Advisory may be the right first step. If your situation involves complex business structures, international assets, or multi-generational planning above $2 million, Wealthy & Wise Family Office is designed for you.
