Wealth Management Services FAQ
Q: How do you charge for your services?

A: There is no minimum amount required to work with our firm.
Q: Can I meet with a wealth manager in person, or is everything done online?
A: We prefer that the first meeting with your advisor is in person if possible, however, we are also equipped to do online meetings. All of the paperwork, however, will be done electronically through secure electronic signings.
Q: How often will I meet with my wealth manager?
A: It is recommended that every client meet with their advisor at least once a year for an annual review to ensure that portfolio goals and objectives have remained the same. These meetings can be conducted in person, online, or through a phone review.
