How do you charge for your financial advisory services?

First, there is no charge for the initial consultation, which will generally take about 45 minutes.

Beyond that, I charge my hourly, fixed project or ongoing retainer fee. Once we agree on specific financial planning or investment services, I will provide you with a written price quote. My price quote is based on the estimated time involved in meeting with you, research, analyzing your situation, developing recommendations, and providing advice.
