How We Get Paid

Clients do not pay us directly. The companies we work with pay us. We get paid through a combination of commissions and annual trailer fees on the products we sell. We negotiate the specific amounts with each client, within parameters set by the industry. We operate transparently—you know up front what you are paying and when.

In the future, we plan to move to a fee-based operation, which means that clients will have the option of paying directly for our services.

Do you know how your financial planner gets paid?
