Cody Hilbun, CEPA®, PWA
Managing Director
Biography
Most successful business owners spend decades building extraordinary companies.
Yet many discover that business success alone doesn’t automatically create personal financial independence.
That’s where our work begins.
I founded Bespoke Capital to serve one type of client: successful privately held business owners and their families.
Every decision we make revolves around helping owners become financially independent from the businesses they worked so hard to build. Whether a transition is years away or already underway, our role is to help clients think clearly, prepare early, and make confident decisions before, during, and long after a liquidity event.
Our work often includes:
- Preparing for a future sale or recapitalization
- Building wealth outside the business
- Reducing concentration risk
- Coordinating tax-aware planning
- Designing estate, legacy, and family governance strategies
- Helping families navigate what comes next after liquidity
I’ve always believed the business may be the family’s largest asset, but it should never be the family’s only plan.
At Bespoke, our goal isn’t simply helping clients sell businesses.
It’s helping them build lives where work becomes a choice instead of a necessity.
One of the most meaningful parts of our work happens after the transaction. We enjoy helping families think intentionally about stewardship, purpose, family culture, philanthropy, and preparing future generations to carry both wealth and values forward.
Outside the office, I’m a husband, father, former Division I wrestler, coach, and someone who believes deeply in faith, discipline, and serving others. Those same principles shape how I lead our team and how we care for every family we have the privilege of serving.
