Services & Fees

 

Fee-Only Financial Planning and Investment Management Services 

 

Annual Retainer

We offer comprehensive fee-only fiduciary financial planning and investment management services on an annual retainer basis for a flat retainer fee that includes both financial planning AND investment management.  The retainer fee is subjectively determined based on the client’s income, assets, perceived complexity, and other subjective measures.  Retainer fee quotes for the first year can be provided after a brief no-cost, no-pressure initial consultation, either over the phone or in-person.

Contact us to learn more or schedule a no-cost, no-pressure initial phone consultation.

 

Hourly

In some circumstances, more limited-in-scope fiduciary financial advice may be recommended and offered on an hourly basis.  The hourly rate is subjectively determined based on perceived complexity and other subjective measures.  Hourly fee quotes and estimate of hours required can be provided after a brief initial consultation, either over the phone or in-person.
