FEES
Whether you want someone to manage all of your financial affairs, or would just like to hear what a professional thinks about your current financial situation, our fee structure is based on the level of services you desire. Due to our Fee-Only approach, we not only perform on-going investment management services, we also provide hourly as needed consultations, comprehensive retirement planning, or financial “check-ups” to help you continue down your path of financial security.
Consultation, planning, and tax preparation services are billed on a fixed fee for service basis. Currently, the hourly rate is $225 and is based on the type and level of services required.
Investment Management services are billed on a percentage of assets under management. The fees range from .5% to 1% of the total portfolio being managed. Clients selecting this service receive our financial planning management at no additional cost. Currently, the annual minimum for our services is $10,000.
