Do you have a minimum account size or income requirement?
No. We don't set minimums. We work with people based on fit, not account size. If you're serious about getting your financial life in order, we want to talk.
-
How do you charge for your services?
Flat fee or retainer for financial planning. A percentage of assets for wealth management. By engagement for situational consulting. We'll always be upfront before you commit to anything.
-
What's the difference between fee-based and fee-only?
Fee-only advisors accept zero commissions. We're fee-based — we primarily charge client fees, but may earn a commission on things like insurance. We'll always tell you when that's the case. Either way, we operate as fiduciaries.
-
What does 'fiduciary' actually mean?
It means we're legally required to act in your best interest — not ours, not a product-focused firm. A lot of advisors only meet a 'suitability' standard. Fiduciary is a higher bar. We hold ourselves to it.
-
How many clients do you work with?
Between 50 and 100 per advisor. We keep the practice small so we can actually know our clients. If that number ever started to compromise quality, we'd stop taking new clients before we'd let the work suffer.
-
I already have a financial advisor. Why would I switch?
You might not need to. But ask yourself: when did you last actually talk to them? Do they know what's changed in your life? Do you understand what you're paying? If the answers are murky, that's a signal.
-
Do you work with clients outside of Texas and Oklahoma?
Yes. We're based in McKinney, TX with ties to Oklahoma, but we work with clients across the country. Most ongoing relationships are managed virtually.
-
Do you handle taxes or estate planning?
We're not CPAs and we don't draft legal documents. But tax strategy and estate planning are built into everything we do. We work alongside your CPA and attorney — or we can help you find one.
-
What does the onboarding process look like?
It starts with a 30–45 minute conversation — no pressure, no pitch. If it's a fit, we move into discovery and build your plan. Most clients are fully onboarded within a few weeks.
