How We Work
- Should you be interested in working with us after our complimentary initial discussion, we will give you an estimate, up-front, of the expected fee and will not go over that level without your permission.
- You can choose how much we do for you. You can implement the plan yourself or we can implement it for you.
- We can work together in person, by phone or via email.
- Annual check-ups are recommended, but not required.
- We do not accept commissions or third-party compensation for our recommendations, so all advice provided is rendered conflict-free.
