Our 
Fees

Fees

       Our Annual Flat Fee Range*     =      $14,000 - $36,000         

         â€‹

*The flat fee range listed is our typical fee range. Fees are annualized and billed quarterly in advance. The fee takes into account such things as:  amount of assets under investment advisory, number of meetings required, business ownership, size of real estate portfolio, and overall complexity of financial life.

​

Because we charge a flat annual fee, our service is generally most cost-effective for those with investable assets in excess of $1,500,000. For investable asset sizes less than that amount, the traditional fee based on a percent of assets under management may be offered if it is more cost effective for the client.
