Courage Korving Miller Partners

Courage Korving Miller Partners was launched by the partnership of Korving & Company and Courage Miller Partners in 2024.

Cumulatively, we have been providing financial advisory and financial planning services to our clients for more than 150 years. Korving & Company provides asset management, financial planning, investment advisory services and estate planning guidance. Our mission is to be the advisor of choice for our clients so that they can spend their time focusing on the things that are important to them. We t

ake pride in being a trusted resource and our clients' main point of contact for all of their financial affairs. Our role is to help our clients meet their financial objectives in a constantly changing world. We are an independent financial services firm, meaning we work solely for and on behalf of our clients - not for or on behalf of a larger organization. Our best interests are the best interests of our clients.

High earners with disciplined savings habits usually have the obvious pieces well covered.

The savings rate is steady.
The 401(k) is funded.
The investment account is active.

What often has not been revisited as closely are the pieces sitting just outside that frame.

In many cases, the important work is not fixing what someone did wrong.

It is simply stepping back, pulling the whole picture together, and revisiting the areas that have not been looked at in a while.

That is often where the most useful planning conversations begin.

“I have more than enough for me. What’s the best way to give more away and save on taxes?

When generosity is part of your values, it helps to have the right tools around it.

A donor-advised fund can make giving more flexible and, in some cases, help families donate appreciated stock more thoughtfully.

For many of our clients, it can become an important part of charitable planning.

Part of our story began in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

Many large firms were under pressure, and clients often felt the effects through higher costs, added complexity, and decisions shaped by priorities that did not always begin with them.

That never sat right with us.

We believed there should be a better way to serve people–a way rooted in direct relationships, thoughtful guidance, and advice shaped by what is truly helpful.

That belief is what led us toward independence.

Courage Korving Miller Partners was built around the kind of work we wanted to do and the kind of relationships we wanted to keep building—serving families with clarity, care, and the freedom to put them first.

Tax filing and tax planning are not the same thing.

Tax filing tells you what happened.

𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠:
→ What is driving the tax bill
→ Where surprises may come from
→ What opportunities may exist to coordinate things more thoughtfully

That can mean different things for different people.

We do not prepare tax returns, but we do spend a lot of time helping clients think through the decisions that shape them.

If you want to be more generous and have a desire to learn about ways to reduce your taxes, this is one of our favorite strategies to help you potentially manage your tax bill:

Meet the Donor Advised Fund. It essentially allows you to batch multiple years of charitable giving into a single year for tax purposes.

(You can even donate highly appreciated stocks to avoid paying capital gains!)

Even better, it allows you to spread your giving out into future years.

If you are facing a year of particularly high income, it's a great time to ask about this strategy.

Give a gift that starts the conversation.

The hardest gifts to wrap are the most meaningful. Clarity. Stories. Wishes. Love.

Before I Go by Arie Korving is a practical, human guide to organizing what matters so that your family isn’t guessing when you’re no longer here to help.

If you want to make space for these conversations, consider gifting the book and scheduling a quiet hour to go through it together.

“It became about the folks that we serve”

Here’s how it all began with Ralph Courage when we first got started. ▶️

If we’re going to talk about “more”, let’s make it more gratitude.

We are grateful for clients who have become friends, for coworkers who show up with integrity, and for the generations we’re honored to serve, both those we currently serve and those who will come long after us.

By choosing independence, we put clients first and are building something designed to outlast any one of us.

That’s our aim: be good, do the right thing, steward well, serve across generations.

A quick reminder as we approach year-end:
If you're using a 529 plan for education expenses, there are two important things to review before December 31:

Contributions: Some states offer tax benefits, but only for contributions made within the calendar year.

Withdrawals: If you’ve had qualified education expenses this year, make sure your 529 distributions match those costs before year-end. The IRS requires them to line up within the same tax year.

Our advice? Don’t wait until the final week of December. Start gathering your expenses and processing withdrawals now to keep everything clean and compliant.

If you have questions or need help coordinating, we’re here.

We worked with one client who wanted his giving to last for generations.

By using a donor-advised fund, he turned potential tax burdens into a lasting legacy for his family and community.
