Hourly Consulting Services
We offer financial planning consulting services whereby we are paid on an hourly basis for our services.
The majority of Hourly-Fee clients are former clients whose personal and financial background we are already familiar with. By using this service, former clients can have us review the existing financial plan and either (i) review one or two aspects of the plan that are concerning to them or (ii) recommend changes to the plan based on new personal circumstances.
On a highly selective basis, we may provide hourly consulting services to clients with whom we do not have a prior relationship. Typically, engagements with these types of clients involve a review of one or two aspects of their financial affairs. Prior to engaging with Hourly Consulting clients with whom we do not have a previous relationship, we interview them to ensure that the work and deliverables necessary to meet the client’s needs (i) can be completed in a reasonable and predictable amount of time; (ii) are unlikely to necessitate an expansion of scope beyond the proposed deliverables in order for the project to be completed in a proper manner; and (iii) will not lead to unintended second-order effects that have negative financial consequences for Clients because of a failure to incorporate factors that were not a part of the scope of the project.
Hourly-Fee Service engagements are offered at an hourly rate of $250.00 per hour. The fee may be negotiable in certain cases.
