Retirement This is what we’re all about.
A comprehensive plan is critical in finding the appropriate strategy to improve your financial situation. We strongly believe in your financial planning process to learn all important details about your situation before we provide our recommendation or decide to work with each other long term. Our 5-step process helps us know exactly how we can help you before trusting us with a penny of your nest egg.
In our first strategy session, which is complementary, you can expect the following:
- A warm welcome and introduction to our team
- A discussion about your financial goals and current situation
- An overview of our services and how we might be able to help you
- An explanation of our fee structure and working process
- Answers to any questions you have about our firm or financial planning in general
- High level action plan to get you started
This meeting is about getting to know each other and determining if we’re a good fit. There’s no obligation to proceed with our services after this meeting. We encourage you to bring any financial documents or questions you may have to make the most of our time together
While we don’t have a strict minimum asset requirement, our services are typically most beneficial for clients with investable assets of $500,000 or more. However, we understand that everyone’s financial situation is unique. If you’re below this threshold but are committed to growing your wealth and believe our services could be valuable to you, we encourage you to reach out for an initial consultation. We can discuss your specific needs and determine if we’re a good fit for each other.
LPL Financial (Nasdaq: LPLA) was founded on the principle that the firm should work for the advisor, and not the other way around. Today, LPL is a leader in the markets we serve,* supporting nearly 22,000 financial advisors, and approximately 800 institution-based investment programs and 500 independent RIA firms nationwide. We are steadfast in our commitment to the advisor-centered model and the belief that Americans deserve access to personalized guidance from a financial advisor. At LPL, independence means that advisors have the freedom they deserve to choose the business model, services, and technology resources that allow them to run their perfect practice. And they have the freedom to manage their client relationships, because they know their clients best. Simply put, we take care of our advisors, so they can take care of their clients.

Our goal is to keep our pricing structure transparent and straightforward. We typically charge a percentage of assets under management, reducing based on account size, which allows our compensation to align with your financial success. For comprehensive financial planning services, we may charge a flat fee or an hourly rate, depending on the complexity. For certain investors where brokerage products make sense, we can earn compensation from these investments directly. During our initial consultation we will provide a detailed overview of our fees, helping to ensure you have a clear understanding of the costs associated with our services before making any commitments.
*We do not charge for an initial Strategy Session*
