Wayne, PA sits at the heart of the Main Line, minutes from AstraZeneca's US headquarters and surrounded by some of the highest household incomes in the Philadelphia region. Blackshire Wealth Management serves Wayne families and AstraZeneca employees with fee-only, fiduciary financial planning from our West Chester office, approximately 20 minutes away.
AstraZeneca's US headquarters at 1 MedImmune Way in Wayne is one of the largest corporate employers on the Main Line. Senior AstraZeneca employees receive RSU grants and long-term incentive awards that create meaningful financial planning complexity around taxes, stock concentration, and retirement timing. Blackshire specializes in this kind of planning for pharmaceutical and biotech employees throughout the Delaware Valley.
Blackshire is at 1065 Andrew Drive, Suite 2b, West Chester, PA 19380, about 20 to 25 minutes from Wayne via Route 30 or the Paoli Pike corridor. We also meet virtually. Fee-only, fiduciary. See our AstraZeneca employee planning page →
Wayne is a Main Line town with an unusual map. The Wayne address covers part of Radnor Township in Delaware County plus slices of Tredyffrin and Upper Merion across the county lines. Radnor in particular carries one of the strongest wealth profiles in the Philadelphia suburbs, with high household incomes, high property values, and school taxes to match. Planning here is rarely about whether a family has resources. It is about coordination. Equity awards, two incomes, a house that appreciated more than anyone expected, and college bills arriving on a schedule. We work with families up and down the Main Line, and our Main Line planning page covers the broader picture.
SAP's North American headquarters in Newtown Square is a short drive from Wayne down Route 252, and plenty of SAP households live on the Wayne side of that commute. Our founder was a Vice President at SAP. RSUs vesting on a schedule he had to plan around, ESPP purchases, deferred compensation elections. He lived all of it with his own money. That is why SAP employees are a core specialty of the firm. If that is your household, start with our SAP employee planning page.
The balance sheets we see in Wayne repeat a pattern. Concentrated employer stock from AstraZeneca, SAP, or a Center City firm. Retirement accounts that grew quietly for decades. A Radnor or Tredyffrin house holding a large share of net worth. Each piece has a tax angle. Pennsylvania levies an inheritance tax of 4.5 percent on assets passing to children, set by statute (Pennsylvania Department of Revenue), and it applies to Main Line estates like any other. Selling concentrated stock raises capital gains timing questions. None of it is complicated in isolation. The value is in sequencing it all correctly.
