Fees

How I Charge

You should know how you pay before we ever talk about working together. Here is the structure.

Two Ways to Work With Me

Financial Planning with Investment Management. An ongoing advisory fee calculated as a percentage of your household advisory assets, billed quarterly.

Financial Planning Only. A fixed quarterly fee, with no assets required.

The investment management fee scales with the assets I manage. The planning-only fee is based on the complexity of the work. I walk through both structures with you in our first conversations and we determine which one fits your situation.

What Working With Me Includes

  • A comprehensive financial plan covering goals, cash flow, investments, retirement, taxes, insurance, and estate
  • Ongoing portfolio management and rebalancing (investment management clients)
  • Multi-year tax planning coordinated with your CPA
  • Retirement income strategy, from accumulation through the transition
  • Equity compensation and concentrated position strategy
  • Business owner planning, from entity structure to exit readiness
  • Estate and legacy coordination with your attorney
  • Ongoing reviews as your life and the markets change
