NEW YORK, May 12 — Wealthspire, an independent wealth management, institutional advisory, and business management firm today announced that Ground Control Business Management (Ground Control) has acquired RSL and Company (RSL), a boutique business management firm based in Los Angeles, CA.
The acquisition adds a 35-year-old firm with tax expertise at its core, serving a broad client base that includes real estate owners and developers, entertainment professionals, small businesses, and high-net-worth individuals across the country. RSL’s capabilities—including complex tax planning and compliance, cash management and bookkeeping, bill pay, and estate planning coordination—deepen Ground Control’s technical bench and expand the range of client situations the firm can serve with confidence.
“Expertise at the level RSL brings is hard to find and even harder to build,” said Chris Bucci, chief executive officer of Ground Control. “Their team has spent decades navigating the real complexity behind their clients’ financial lives including real estate structures, entertainment income, and business interests. We’re looking forward to what we can offer together.”
Founded by Ron Litvak, RSL has built its practice on personalized service and long-term client relationships, advising clients on complex tax situations, business management, and the full range of financial decisions that accompany success in real estate, entertainment, and business.
“We’ve succeeded by doing right by our clients. Ground Control, along with the broader Wealthspire team, operates the same way, and this partnership gives us the resources to keep raising the bar for them,” said Ron Litvak, owner and CEO of RSL.
Litvak will continue leading the firm and join Ground Control alongside all 15 RSL employees, ensuring continuity of service for every client. The team will continue to operate from its current location in Los Angeles.
