Tax strategy & alternative investment education
One Aspire teaches business owners, professionals and high earners how tax strategies and alternative investments work: what they cost, who they fit, and what can go wrong. We educate; we never recommend. You decide with your own advisors.
Education only. Not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, CPA firm or law firm.
What we offer
We teach how they work, who they fit and what can go wrong. Every decision stays with you and your own advisors.
For people paying significant tax even after using their 401(k), IRA and HSA.
For people who want to diversify beyond the stock market.
How we deliver it: free webinars, 1-on-1 sessions and guides. You can review full program materials under a confidentiality agreement, and get introductions to CPAs and providers if you want to go further.
How it works
How we're paid: there is no fee to clients. One Aspire may receive a consulting fee from program providers. We'll tell you before you proceed with any provider.
Who we work with
Most of our clients earn well, already have a CPA, and want to understand what else the tax code and the private markets offer.
S-corps, LLCs and sole proprietors with active income who buy equipment, software or vehicles.
Professionals and executives looking beyond retirement contributions.
Practices weighing technology purchases and when they are placed in service.
Professionals who want vetted, documented strategies to review for clients.
About One Aspire
One Aspire LLC provides financial education about tax strategies and alternative investments. We explain how they work and what can go wrong, share program materials through a documented process, and make sure clients have their own advisors in the loop. We never recommend a specific investment.
Financial education & clarity
BI Architect by profession · Entrepreneur, investor & educator by passion
"I did everything I was told to do — and still wrote a big check every April."
I maxed out my 401(k), funded my IRA and HSA, and bought rental real estate. It wasn't enough. So I started learning what else the tax code allows, and later began investing in alternatives myself, in both fixed-interest and profit-sharing deals. Some went well; some took far longer than promised.
By profession, I'm a BI Architect. By passion, I'm an educator. I bring tax strategists, CPAs and providers into webinars so you can learn from the experts. You review the information and make your own decisions.

What I Wish I Knew When Maxing Out My 401(k) Wasn't Enough covers advanced tax strategies. What I Wish I Knew Before Investing Beyond the Stock Market covers alternative investments.
What we teach
Each one is a real part of the tax code. We cover how it works, who it fits, the paperwork it needs and the risks. Detailed program materials are shared only after a confidentiality agreement.
Deducting the cost of qualifying business equipment in the year it is placed in service, instead of over many years.
Expensing software and technology bought for business use, paid in cash or financed.
Owning commercial solar or storage equipment, with a credit against tax and depreciation on the equipment.
Giving property to qualified charities and how fair-market-value deductions, appraisals and AGI limits apply.
How LLCs allocate income, deductions and losses among members, and what "substantial economic effect" requires.
The rules that decide whether a deduction can offset your wages and business income, or waits for passive income.
Tax results depend on your facts, and some strategies draw closer IRS attention than others. No result is guaranteed. Review every strategy with your own licensed CPA and attorney before acting.
Alternative investments
Many investors hear about private deals without anyone explaining how they work. We teach what each type of alternative investment is, where its returns come from, and what can go wrong.
We educate. We don't recommend. One Aspire does not recommend, sell or arrange any investment. Decide with your own licensed advisor.
Group ownership of apartments, industrial or other property, including syndications and Delaware Statutory Trusts used in 1031 exchanges.
Loans made directly to companies or projects outside the bank system, usually through a fund.
Owning income-producing equipment, from modular housing to machinery, that is leased or operated by others.
Stakes in solar, storage or oil and gas projects, which can carry tax credits or drilling-cost deductions.
Ownership in businesses that aren't publicly traded, directly or through funds.
Many private offerings are open only to accredited investors. We explain those rules and how to review offering documents and sponsors.
Alternative investments are often illiquid, lightly regulated and higher risk than public investments, and you can lose some or all of your money. Nothing here is an offer to buy or sell any security.
