    We are upfront and transparent about our fee structure. Our comprehensive financial planning fee is calculated based on a percentage of assets under management.

    Our annual fee begins at $10,000 and is billed quarterly.  Our hands-on calculator allows you to input estimated assets and calculate your approximate fee.

    A Process Designed For You

    When you meet with an advisor, they will guide you through each step of the process.

    We approach every meeting with the same goal, which is to help you determine what is best for your situation.

    We’re excited to meet you!

    On this call, we’ll get to know each other. We’ll answer your questions and outline our process.

    Our goal is to collaboratively decide on the next steps – whether that is moving on to the discovery meeting or providing you with resources to find what is best for you.

    2 – Discovery Meeting
