Planning for Athletes & Entertainers

Maximizing the Moment:

Why Financial and Tax Planning is Crucial for Professional Athletes

At Silver Rock Partners, we understand that professional athletes operate in a high-stakes world where careers are often short, earnings are high, and the future can be uncertain. With just a limited window to secure long-term financial stability, strategic planning is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Alvini & Associates, a leading financial and tax planning firm based in Wilmington, Delaware, with deep expertise in the unique challenges facing professional athletes. Together, we provide a full-service approach to help athletes make the most of their peak earning years and protect their wealth for life beyond the sport.

Short Careers.

Big Earnings.

Even Bigger Responsibility.

Unlike traditional careers, professional athletes may earn a lifetime’s worth of income in just a few short years. The average professional sports career lasts between 3 and 6 years, and injury or performance shifts can cut that even shorter. That compressed timeline makes proactive financial planning critical—not just for today, but for decades to come.

At Silver Rock Partners, we’ve worked with world champions in the boxing world, guiding them through the transition from peak athletic performance to long-term financial independence. Whether it’s investing wisely, protecting assets, or planning for retirement and legacy, our clients count on us to be in their corner long after the final bell.

Our comprehensive planning covers:

  • Investment strategies tailored to your career timeline,
  • Cash flow and lifestyle management,
  • Risk and insurance planning,
  • Estate and legacy planning designed to support your values and family.
The Tax Game:

It’s Not Just What You Make—It’s What You Keep

Athletes face some of the most complex tax situations in any profession. Income from fight purses, bonuses, endorsements, and appearance fees often spans multiple states and even countries. Without experienced tax guidance, millions can be lost to inefficient structures or avoidable liabilities.

Through our partnership with Alvini & Associates, we provide: 

  • Expert navigation of multi-state and international “jock tax” issues,
  • Strategic income deferral and distribution planning,
  • Sophisticated structuring of endorsement and business income,
  • Proactive audit risk management and compliance solutions.
