Partner-Level Tax
K-1 income from contractor LLCs and partnerships coordinated with personal cash flow, estimates, and retirement contributions.
Home › Locations › Northern Virginia
Government-contractor density, federal employees, executive concentration, and a flat 5.75% top income tax give Northern Virginia households a different planning profile than DC or Maryland — and coordination matters here too.
Northern Virginia is one of the country's wealthiest regions by household income, anchored by government contracting, federal employment, technology, and professional services. Virginia repealed its state estate tax in 2007, but federal estate tax, capital-gains tax, complex K-1 and partner income, and concentrated equity positions in contractor / tech / financial companies all combine to make coordinated planning the highest-leverage move for most NoVA households.
Vickers Financial Group is a fiduciary firm headquartered in Bowie, MD, with a strong Northern Virginia client base. We coordinate investments, tax, estate, retirement income, and asset protection under one plan, tailored to Virginia's tax and contractor-economy specifics.
Who It's For
NoVA households with $1M–$25M in net worth and complex income
Government contractors with K-1, ESOP, RSU, or concentrated equity exposure
Federal employees coordinating TSP, FERS, and Social Security
Tech and consulting executives with deferred-comp and ISO/RSU stacks
NoVA business owners coordinating S-corp / LLC tax and exit planning
Multi-generational families coordinating real estate, gifts, and trusts
The Coordinated Approach
The planning seams here are different from DC or MD — flatter state tax, no state estate tax, but heavier concentrated-equity and partner-income dynamics.
Partner-Level Tax

Diversification

$13.6M Exemption
Without VA state estate tax, federal exemption planning is the focus — including portability, ILITs, and SLATs before the sunset.
Election Timing
409A deferred-comp elections, RSU/PSU vest planning, and ISO exercise timing — coordinated with personal AMT and capital-gains exposure.
