Queen City Impact (QCI) is a professional advisory firm that works with affluent families and their investment advisors to provide values-based charitable planning services, fulfilling family enterprise strategies, and unique opportunities to achieve legacy goals.
As an independent firm, we collaborate with financial and legal advisors managing the client’s financial assets and provide innovative philanthropic vehicles and strategies that work with, not independent of, asset management goals, estate plans, and tax strategies.
QCI’s approach to charitable planning is to facilitate a deeper appreciation and understanding of the different types of family wealth with the client in collaboration with other professional advisors.
