Fee Schedule
We're a fee-only fiduciary — paid only by our clients, never through commissions or product sales. Our pricing is built around financial planning, with investment management available as an add-on.
Financial Planning
One-Time Financial Plan
A complete written plan, delivered once.
$1,500 standard $2,500 complex
Complex plans cover situations such as equity compensation, business ownership, or multi-account households.
Ongoing Planning Subscription — a continuing planning relationship, billed monthly.
| Planning Tier | Monthly Fee |
|---|---|
| Foundation | $150/month |
| Core | $275/month |
| Complex / Equity Compensation | $450/month |
Investment Management
Optional add-on — a graduated annual fee on the assets we manage.
| Assets Under Management | Annual Fee |
|---|---|
| First $100,000 | 1.50% |
| $100,001 – $250,000 | 1.25% |
| $250,001 – $500,000 | 1.00% |
| $500,001 – $1,000,000 | 0.85% |
| Above $1,000,000 | 0.75% |
Graduated basis: each tier's rate applies only to the portion of assets within that tier.
Combining services: Clients who engage both ongoing planning and investment management pay the greater of the two fees — never both.
Minimum annual fee: $1,800. We do not require a minimum account size.
Billing: Planning fees are billed monthly in advance; asset-based fees are billed quarterly in arrears based on quarter-end value. Limited hourly advisory ($200/hr) is available by arrangement for clients whose portfolios we don't manage.
