Frequently Asked Questions

As life evolves—whether through career growth, family changes, or new responsibilities—you may start to wonder if you’re making the most of your finances. It might be time to consider a working with a financial professional or advisor if you’re feeling overwhelmed, managing more complex finances, planning for a major goal, or simply don’t have the time to do it all on your own.

If you’ve never worked with a Financial Professional or Advisor, it’s natural to have questions about cost and value. Fee structures vary—some are fee-only (flat, hourly, or based on Assets Under Management [AUM]), some commission-based, and some a mix.

We tailor our approach to your needs, though most of our clients find the AUM-based model to be the best fit.

We don’t require a minimum investment to work with us. Some clients come to us simply looking for financial planning, even if they’re not ready to invest yet—and that’s perfectly okay. We’re equipped to serve accounts of all sizes while maintaining a high standard of care and service.
