Fee-Only Financial Planning & Money Management
Fee-Only
I am a fee-only Planner billed hourly. My hourly fee is $150 for all financial planning and money management services.
Fee-only benefits clients as follows:
- It assures the client of an unbiased opinion. I do not manage money or sell products of any kind.
- As a Certified Financal Planner® and a Registered Investment Advisor, I have a fiduciary responsibility to all clients.
- I do not receive compensation in any form from a third party. Note the difference between a Financial Planner and Financial Advisor.
- I provide an estimate of the maximum hourly fee in advance. The actual fee may be less, but will not be more.
- Clients can be assured that information, analysis, and recommendations are based on over 40 years of experience in the financial service plus credentials.
- Note: I am a Certified Financial Planner®. I also have a Master's in Financial Planning. CFP® requires on-going continuing education. I personally believe having a CFP® designation is the highest quality certification for being a financial planner. For more information, please check the CFP® Let's Make A Plan website.
