Fee Only Billing & Client Engagement Process

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 Financial 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.
