See what a 1% advisor fee can cost over time.

Percentage fees feel quiet because they come out of the account. But quiet does not mean small, especially when the portfolio is large and the planning value is unclear.

How to read this number

Fees are not bad by default. The question is whether the planning you receive is worth the dollars leaving your account. A $10,000 annual fee and a $50,000 annual fee should not buy the same vague quarterly meeting.

For business owners, the fee should be judged against the whole planning relationship: tax-return review, CPA coordination, owner-pay strategy, cash-flow planning, investment management, retirement projections, and family goals.
