Wealthspire’s Ground Control Acquires LA Business Management Firm RSL

Wealthspire’s Ground Control Business Management has acquired RSL and Company, a 35-year-old boutique business management firm based in Los Angeles, deepening its tax and complex-client capabilities while expanding its national footprint.

The deal brings a seasoned practice with tax expertise at its core, serving a broad client base that spans real estate owners and developers, entertainment professionals, small businesses, and high-net-worth individuals across the country. RSL’s offering includes complex tax planning and compliance, cash management and bookkeeping, bill pay, and coordination around estate planning.

“Expertise at the level RSL brings is hard to find and even harder to build,” said Chris Bucci, CEO 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.”

Founded by Ron Litvak, RSL is known for managing intricate financial lives that often involve multiple entities, variable income streams, and closely held assets. By joining Ground Control, the firm adds depth to the platform’s technical bench and broadens the range of client situations it can serve, particularly in tax-intensive, multi-entity structures.

Litvak will continue to lead the firm and will join Ground Control alongside all 15 RSL employees, preserving continuity for existing clients. The team will remain in its current Los Angeles location.
