Empowering financial advisors with intelligent tax planning tools

Our Story

Stratum was born from a simple observation: financial advisors spend countless hours manually creating tax planning scenarios, often using spreadsheets and outdated tools that make it difficult to visualize outcomes and communicate value to clients.

We believed there had to be a better way. A way that combines the power of modern technology with deep tax planning expertise to help advisors deliver exceptional value to their clients while saving time and reducing complexity.

Today, Stratum helps financial advisors across the country create sophisticated tax planning scenarios, compare strategies side-by-side, and present clear, actionable recommendations to their clients.

Our Mission

To transform tax planning from a time-consuming, complex process into an intuitive, powerful experience that helps financial advisors deliver measurable value to their clients.

We believe every advisor should have access to professional-grade tax planning tools that are easy to use, accurate, and designed specifically for the challenges they face in serving their clients.

Our Values

Continuous Learning

We listen to our users and constantly improve. Your feedback shapes our roadmap, and we're committed to evolving alongside the needs of financial advisors.

Client-Centric Design

Everything we build is designed to help advisors serve their clients better. From clear visualizations to presentation-ready reports, we make complex planning simple.

Why Tax Planning Matters

Taxes are often the largest expense in a client's financial life. Yet many advisors lack the tools to effectively model tax optimization strategies and demonstrate their value.

Strategic tax planning can save clients tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over their lifetime through techniques like Roth conversions, strategic withdrawals, deduction bunching, and charitable giving optimization.

Stratum makes it easy to model these strategies, compare scenarios, and show clients exactly how much they can save—transforming tax planning from an afterthought into a core value proposition for your practice.
