Ongoing Comprehensive Financial Planning

This service is designed for military families who prefer to manage their own investments but want professional, ongoing guidance across their full financial picture.

Ongoing Comprehensive Financial Planning provides the same level of fiduciary advice and coordination found in our Wealth Management service, without discretionary investment management of individual accounts. We help you make informed decisions, reduce blind spots, and stay aligned with your goals while you retain control of day-to-day investment execution.

This service includes guidance across:

  • Cash flow and savings strategy

  • Retirement planning and benefit coordination

  • Tax-aware planning decisions

  • Estate planning coordination

  • Insurance and risk assessment

  • Investment risk assessment and portfolio allocation guidance

  • Asset location and tax allocation recommendations

You will receive personalized recommendations, regular check-ins, and ongoing support to help you navigate financial decisions with clarity and confidence.

Priced For Your Stage in Life

Our ongoing services are priced based on the complexity of your financial situation, not the size of your investment accounts. This approach helps keep fees transparent, reasonable, and aligned with the level of planning required.

Base Pricing by Client

Active Duty Military
Tailored pricing for those currently serving, reflecting military pay structures, benefits, and transition considerations.

Veteran or Retired Military and Federal or State Government Employees
Designed for individuals and families with multiple income sources, pensions, or government benefits that require coordinated planning.

Non-Military and Non-Federal Government Employees
Built for professionals, families, and business owners with unique compensation structures and financial considerations.

How Complexity Affects Pricing

To keep fees as low as possible, base pricing assumes a lower level of financial complexity. Some planning situations require additional time, coordination, and expertise. When present, these factors may increase the overall fee.

Common complexity factors include:

  • Special needs planning

  • Blended family dynamics

  • Business ownership

  • Taxable investment accounts over $100,000

  • Equity-based compensation such as ISOs, RSUs, or ESOPs

  • Student loan balances over $75,000

  • Being within ten years of required minimum distribution age

  • Income-producing real estate properties

Your actual fee is determined by how these factors apply to your specific situation.

Project-Based Financial Planning

One-time assessments tailored to your needs

Project-based financial planning is designed for individuals and families who want professional guidance on a specific financial question or decision. This option is ideal when you need a focused assessment without an ongoing advisory relationship.

During a project, we typically address one to three areas of comprehensive financial planning, depending on your goals and circumstances. Common project areas include:

  • Cash flow and budgeting

  • Education planning

  • Tax planning

  • Retirement planning

  • Estate planning

  • Investment risk assessment

  • Insurance risk assessment
