An ongoing advice relationship, built around what you need to understand and decide.
Investment-management relationships are often priced around the assets being managed. If you're looking for broader advice, it helps to understand what planning is included.
Planning can be paid for in different ways, including through investment management or product compensation. You deserve to understand how your advisor is paid.
Most of this industry runs on two moves: gather your assets, or sell you a product. My practice runs on a third: an ongoing, fee-based advice relationship. Your seat at this table never depends on buying anything.
"You'll hear from me. You'll probably over-hear from me."
Reach out on a Saturday and you won't wait until Wednesday. Say you'll handle something by Friday, and I'll be the friendly nudge making sure it happens. Responsiveness isn't a feature of the service. It is the service.
No pressure, no pitch, no homework required. Just thirty minutes to talk about where you are, where you're headed, and whether I'm the right person to help you get there.
