Our Process

You're just a few years away from wanting to retire and would like to double check that you will be financially ready.

Our History

You’re a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) investor and have been managing your portfolio on your own for years, but you’d like a second opinion to make sure that your portfolio is constructed as efficiently as possible.

Our Values

You’re a busy, working couple and need a roadmap for your finances, including answers to questions like whether you have enough insurance, your investments are allocated properly, and if you are saving enough.

Our Resources

You’re a mid-career professional beginning a job at a local university.  You’d like some professional guidance on your employee benefits and retirement plan.

Fees

Our rate is $260/hour for the Project-based Financial Planning Service.

Your hourly fee total will depend upon the scope of work, which will consider your specific needs. We will have a complimentary conversation to better understand your needs and inform the estimated cost range we provide.

We require an advance payment of a portion of the fee with the remainder due upon completion of the advisory engagement. The advance payment is $1,300. However, if the estimated total fee for the engagement likely will be less than $1,300, then the advance payment is 50% of the estimated total fee.
