What is Fee-Only Financial Advisor?
Fee-only financial advisor charge an hourly or flat fee for his/her services.
We all need a little help with our finances sometimes.
Especially as we get older, and our finances become more complex.
Just think of the financial planning that retires, sending kids to college, investing for income, estate planning, etc. It only makes sense to consult a professional about these matters.

One of the questions we get asked a lot is “How do you get paid?” or “what are your fees?” While that sounds like a very simple question, the answer can be complicated. In short, we get paid for services we provide. If you are interested in a financial plan, we charge a flat fee.
Depending on complexity and hours required to complete, costs can very. If it is just simply a consultative meeting, we charge an hourly fee of $250/hr.
If we are providing asset management, we charge a percentage of assets based upon account values.
So, to best answer that question, we must figure out exactly what you need.
Most people do not know exactly what they need and that’s why our initial consultation is always free.
No obligation, no strings attached, no hidden agendas.
