FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our first conversation is free, it is very important for us to determine whether working together will be a good "fit" for us both. If we decide that this service is a good fit, the pricing is a flat fee is $499 for clients with a net worth less than $500,000 and $699 for clients with a net worth greater than $500,000 (these are typically more complex plans). The service includes very detailed financial planning and when your plan is complete you will have a full understanding of your financial picture and a comprehensive action plan to optimize it. I also mentor folks who are not comfortable with their knowledge in personal finances. I have helped hundreds of people with financial planning and have very happy customers. We do not offer discounts, as our fees are already extremely competitive, however for corporate clients wishing to offer these services as an employee benefit, we offer special volume pricing on both seminars and planning.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We first conduct an initial meeting to understand the client's financial situation, goals, challenges, and desired financial destination. We then capture the client's financial input and load it into the Wealth Planner Tool so that their current financial situation is documented. Next we recommend specific actions to optimize our client's financial case, identifying which actions will have the greatest impact on long term net worth and wealth accumulation. During the following year, clients input their monthly data and we monitor progress. We will also run financial simulations for any circumstances that the client wishes to understand better so that they can clearly see the future impact of any decisions on their personal finances/net worth prior to making these decisions. Clients should expect to have a clear picture of the path to their stated financial goals, and will be able to track their progress monthly using the Wealth Planner Tool.
