Transparent Fee Schedule.
You should know what you're paying for and why. Here's how I work.
Fee-Based Advisory Through LPL Financial
I work with clients in two main structures: financial planning combined with investment management, priced as a percentage of household assets under management, or financial planning only, priced as a fixed quarterly fee.
Each engagement is priced based on the services you need, the complexity of your situation, and your account size. The exact structure and rate are discussed transparently before any engagement begins.
Schedule a discovery call and we'll walk through both options together so you can choose the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Through LPL Financial, I offer two account types and the cost structure depends on which one fits your situation. Advisory accounts charge an asset-based fee, typically a percentage of the assets in the account, billed quarterly. Brokerage accounts charge transaction-based commissions, sales loads, or 12b-1 fees on the products held. For ongoing planning relationships I also offer a fixed quarterly planning fee. I walk through the specific rates, the capacity (advisory vs brokerage), and the LPL Form CRS before any account is opened.
There is no minimum account size. I work with clients at various asset levels and focus on whether my services are a good fit for your situation. We'll discuss this during your discovery call.
For advisory clients, the asset-based advisory fee covers ongoing portfolio review and rebalancing, quarterly check-ins, Social Security and pension coordination, Roth conversion and tax-aware withdrawal analysis, and ongoing access to me. Brokerage clients pay per-transaction costs and product expenses on the holdings in the account. Financial planning engagements may be priced as a separate flat or quarterly fee. The LPL Form CRS details what is included in each capacity.
