Move the slider to what you have invested and pick a rate to compare. The gray bar is a percentage fee. The gold bar is our ongoing advice, which doesn't move.
Simple math: the rate times today's balance, no growth assumed. Real schedules often step down at higher balances. Our 10 year total includes the one-time $4,500 plan.

Questions people ask
Before you book.
Not here? Ask it on the intro call. That's what it's for.
Why not charge a percentage like everyone else?
Because the work of planning for a $2 million household isn't twice the work of a $1 million one. A flat fee keeps the price tied to the work, and it means we never have a reason to push you to keep more money invested with us.
Do I have to move my accounts to you?
For ongoing advice, we manage accounts at a large independent custodian in your name. You can see everything and withdraw any time. For a plan alone, nothing moves.
Can I buy just the plan?
Yes. About one in four clients takes the plan and runs it on their own. You can add ongoing advice later without paying for the plan again if it's within a year.
What does "fiduciary" mean here?
We are legally required to put your interests first in everything we recommend, and we put that in writing in our client agreement. We are paid only by you.
Is there a minimum?
No account minimum. The plan is the same price whether you have $300,000 or $3 million.
