locally owned and operated
and committed to helping
you thrive in retirement.


How We Operate (Fees)
We do financial planning and investment advising.  As a financial planner we charge up to $200 per hour, depending on the complexity of your financial situation, for consultations.  We will give you advice on your financial concerns, including, but not limited to: investments, taxes, insurance, retirement and estate planning.  You are the sole determinate of how many hours of financial counseling  you'll need, and you can terminate at any time.

As an investment advisor we manage your account for a percentage of assets under our management.  The annual fee ranges from 1/2 of 1% to 2%, depending on the size and complexity of your account.  The fee is paid quarterly, at the end of each quarter.  If you wish to terminate our association - and you can do so at any time - any prepaid fees will be promptly refunded to you on a pro-rated basis.  Additionally, we may select and monitor other money managers (Registered in Washington) on your behalf.  When we do so the other money managers pay us a portion of the fees generated by the referred clients - clients do not pay us directly for this service.

You are free to select any broker you wish for implementation of our advice.  If you want us to recommend a broker, you'll get a recommendation based on the broker's costs, skills, reputation, dependability and compatibility with you, and not upon any financial agreement between the recommended broker and us.  NOTE: Clients may be able to obtain lower commissions and fees from other brokers, and the value of products, research and services given to the applicant is not a factor in determining the selection of broker/dealers or the reasonableness of their commissions.
