How do you charge for your services?

Services are offered predominantly fee‑based - charging a flat fee, or a clear, transparent fee based on the assets we manage, or a specific service, fixed planning rate. In certain instances, when a commission‑based solution may serve a family’s interests, we can accommodate many of those as well. The focus is always aligning services and recommendations with your needs, long‑term priorities and putting your families first.

Will you help with tax and estate planning?

Absolutely. Helping families protect, preserve, and pass down their hard‑earned assets is a priority. We can collaborate closely with your CPAs and estate attorneys to create seamless, tax‑efficient strategies. We can also integrate life insurance and long‑term care planning to protect loved ones and help create a tax efficient foundation for generations to come.

How often will you review financial plans?

Every family is different, so our review schedules are tailored to fit individual needs - generally annually, semi‑annually, or quarterly. In between regularly schedule meetings, our team is also available to help you make adjustments as life evolves, providing ongoing clarity and support when you need it needed most.
