Meet David M. Bastiaans
Founder of Business Owners Strategic Solutions (BOSS)

With more than two decades of experience as an attorney specializing in estate planning, business planning, and succession strategy, David M. Bastiaans has built a career rooted in compassion and foresight. He’s guided countless entrepreneurs, families, and fiduciaries through the complexities of planning—helping them navigate not only legal landscapes but pivotal moments in life and business.

David launched BOSS to bridge a critical gap: the need for business owners to plan not just for growth, but for graceful transition. His deep understanding of both law and business gives him a unique lens—allowing him to craft strategies that are legally sound, financially smart, and personally meaningful.

But what truly sets David apart is his belief in education, empathy, and empowerment. He’s not just here to help you “exit”—he’s here to ensure your journey continues with clarity and confidence. Clients often describe him as meticulous, insightful, and approachable—able to communicate complex concepts with ease, and always with your best interests in mind.

When he’s not leading clients through strategic transformations, David enjoys bringing laughter and camaraderie to his local golf league, proving that legacy-building and light-heartedness don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
