FAQs |
Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?Clients are able to start and stop service at any time. Any unused portion of the advisory fee can be returned upon separation of the advisor / client relationship. We make it very easy to allow clients to change directions if their situation changes, perception of market etc. |
Why should I choose you as my financial advisor?I believe my value proposition is the time I can spend with clients one on one and the Fiduciary nature of the guidance I provide. At the end of the day there needs to be a personality fit and confidence you will receive value. Much of this can be determined in the initial no obligation complimentary consultation.
