G. Martin Poole is a Member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors
The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) is a leading professional association of Fee-Only financial advisors - highly trained professionals who are committed to working in the best interests of those they serve.
NAPFA members live by three important values:
- To be the beacon for independent, objective financial advice for individuals and families.
- To be the champion of financial services delivered in the public interest.
- To be the standard bearer for the emerging profession of financial planning.
HFH Planning is dedicated to providing conflict-free financial advice for individuals of all income levels. Partnering with you, we develop a financial plan that reflects your specific needs and goals.
We charge an hourly fee to create the plan. Generally speaking, when your finances are less complex, it takes less time for us to develop the plan, and you pay less. When finances are complex, the reverse is true.
The plan is yours to implement as you wish.
If you choose, we will implement your plan and conduct on-going monitoring, adjusting in response to changes in your situation that may arise. You are also free to implement the plan on your own, or with another financial professional.
After the plan development phase, we no longer charge by the hour.
HFH is one of the few firms to use your income and net worth to determine an appropriate fee for ongoing advice and direction. The advice we provide is based solely on our expertise — not on any commissions or hidden fees we might earn by recommending a particular product. Using income and net worth is truly objective, fair, transparent and aligned with your goals at all times. It also makes our services accessible to clients of any and all income levels. As Certified Financial Planner™ professionals, we are required to always put the interest of our clients before those of our firm. And we wouldn’t do business any other way.
