"Why can’t you get objective professional financial advice without being sold a product?"
It was that very question that in early 2006 led me to create THE ADVISORY FIRM, a fee-only financial planning, investment management and tax practice located in Alpharetta, Georgia.
As a former electrical engineer that entered the financial services field as a professional stock trader and then transitioned to a full service broker/dealer, I have experienced what it is like from both the consumer perspective and on the product sales side.
That is why when I created this practice it was built with a couple of key fundamental concepts and philosophies:
- A Completely fee-only fiduciary practice with no product sales.
- Personalized financial strategy built just for you that encompasses your complete financial life: planning, investments and tax.
- Consultative approach to develop custom strategies for each client.
- Fee Structure that allows clients to choose a planning relationship, investment relationship or complete wealth management.
Retirement is the largest financial decision you will ever make. Doesn't it make sense to have a plan for it?
