A Transparent Fee Structure

You Can Trust

Here, transparency isn’t just a buzzword — it’s how we do business. You deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for and why. Our fee-only financial planning means we never earn commissions or kickbacks, so our success is directly tied to yours.

What This Means For You

Hidden fees and conflicted advice could eat away at your family's hard-earned assets every year. That's why we've built our entire business model around complete transparency and fee-only compensation, so you can trust that every recommendation serves your best interests, not ours.

How Do We Get Paid?

It's important to us that you understand how we make money working with you. Unlike many investment firms that may charge per trade or place your account in products that pay them the highest commissions, our no-commission fee structure is based on a percentage of your account's value.

What This Means For You

No Surprises
Every fee is disclosed upfront, in writing, before you become a client.
No Commission-Driven Advice
We never receive commissions for recommending specific investments or insurance products.
No Product Sales
We don’t sell investment products like insurance or annuities. Instead, we provide comprehensive financial planning advice and fiduciary services.
Your Success = Our Success
Our fees are based on your account value, so our incentives are always aligned.
Complete Cost Transparency
We charge an advisory rate with no hidden fees or commissions, so you always know what you’re paying.

Tiered Fee Schedule

We offer a household-tiered system that rewards you for a comprehensive approach to your assets. When you diversify among multiple advisors, you often get charged the highest fees at each firm. We have a tiered fee schedule, which means our fee incrementally decreases as the assets we manage for you increase.
