Who We Serve

Whether you are a practice owner or associate dentist, you are likely to face unique financial challenges compared to others: practice ownership and business decisions, effective retirement planning (both for you and your employees), high tax burdens, effectively protecting your assets, and eventually, practice transition planning.

Our team at Tenet has designed a custom approach to partnering with dentists at every stage —from starting as a new associate to building your practice to preparing for retirement and/or transitioning your practice to a new owner. All of these considerations can be overwhelming, but we help you plan the personal and practice side collaboratively and cohesively.

Owning a business can be incredibly rewarding, but it is also time-consuming and presents very unique challenges.  As business owners ourselves here at Tenet, we know this first-hand. From a financial perspective, successful planning involves effectively balancing and coordinating your personal and professional priorities. At Tenet, we help business owners with cash-flow planning, designing ideal retirement plans, business succession strategies, tax planning and tax-efficient investment strategies, and wealth preservation strategies.

Whether you’re scaling your company or preparing for a future exit, we will bring the perspective of a partner who understands both sides of your financial life.

Based in Champaign-Urbana, home of the University of Illinois, we assist many university professors and faculty with managing their financial lives and planning for future goals.

Illinois faculty and staff face unique retirement and benefit systems such as SURS (State Universities Retirement System). We can help guide you through pension choices, supplemental retirement savings, healthcare options, and coordinating your university benefits with your broader financial plan. With experience working alongside university professionals, we can help ensure your hard work today translates into a secure retirement in the future.

Higher income provides opportunity, but can also bring complexities to navigate.

From minimizing taxes to maximizing savings vehicles such as 401(k)s, IRAs, and backdoor Roth strategies, our team helps high-earning professionals structure their financial plan in alignment with their goals. Our approach to streamline your investment strategy, retirement plan, tax plan, estate plan, and risk management helps ensure all aspects work together for your long-term benefit.

Becoming an empty nester marks a new stage in life—and often, a new set of financial priorities. With children grown and independent, many families shift focus to retirement readiness, estate planning, charitable giving, and making the most of their wealth. At Tenet Wealth Partners, we specialize in guiding empty nesters with comprehensive financial advisor and financial planning services. From our office in Champaign-Urbana, we proudly serve families across Central Illinois and the Midwest, helping them simplify financial complexity and plan confidently for the future.

Significant wealth brings opportunities, complexities, and responsibilities. We specialize in serving high-net-worth families with integrated planning across investments, legacy planning, income and estate tax planning, tax efficient investment management, and gifting strategies (charitable and family). Our team provides concierge-level service, acting as your family’s financial advocate and coordinating with your tax and legal advisors to ensure your wealth is protected and sustained for generations.

Managing a retirement plan as an employer requires balancing fiduciary responsibility, cost efficiency, and employee participation.
