Overview:
When you’re searching for a financial advisor, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is what type of relationship you want to have with them. Ryan, Ron, and Nick break down the key differences between two popular models: the hourly or flat-fee planning model versus the ongoing, comprehensive advisory model. By understanding the differences between these models, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your financial goals and preferences.
You’ll learn why ongoing advisors may be better suited for people with complex, evolving retirement questions, and why hourly planning might work for those with a specific one-time need. More importantly, we’ll explain why choosing the right advisor isn’t about fees alone.
