Once the process is done, we will simply ask you to think about it. We want to build long-term relationships, not just make a quick transaction. If you don't believe that we're a good fit, that's no problem! We're happy to assist you in finding another professional that fits your needs. We will never pressure you to say "yes."

• You're a fiduciary...what is that?

   Investopedia.com describes a fiduciary as “a person or organization that acts on behalf of another person or persons, putting their client’s interest ahead of their own, with a duty to preserve good faith and trust.”

  At Fiduciary Financial Partners, we live up to our name. We are fiduciaries, legally and ethically bound to act in our clients’ best interests, not our own. We acknowledge our fiduciary status in writing with every client.

• What does an initial meeting look like and is there a cost?

  Our three-step process begins with a complementary, no-obligation introductory meeting via Zoom. The purpose of this meeting is to learn about you and your family and your priorities. We will share more information about our process, answer your questions and, finally, determine if Fiduciary Financial Partners might be a good fit for you. We’re confident you’ll find this meeting beneficial whether you become a client or not.

• What makes you different than other financial advisors?

  There are three very important things about our firm that separate us from others:

  1. We are retirement and tax planning experts for people aged 50+. We remain highly specialized and focused in order to effectively work with retirement savers that we know we can help.

   

  2. We’re selective. By limiting our clientele, this allows us to provide unparalleled value and highly personalized service to the families that have entrusted our firm to help them.

   

  3. We take the guesswork out of your retirement planning. Some financial planners might use a lot of financial jargon when explaining your financial situation. However, we take the time to really explain our process and how we’re managing your finances. It’s your money. You should 100% understand how we’re managing it.

   

  The reason we offer a Free Retirement Assessment is that we recognize how challenging it is to evaluate financial planners. Many of us have similar titles, designations, and service models. We also work with similar vendors and third-party custodians (e.g., Schwab). With our Free Retirement Assessment, you get to try us out, risk-free, to make sure we’re the right fit for you.

   

  If you think there is a potential fit between your needs and our expertise, the first step is to schedule a complimentary call.

• How are you compensated?

  At Fiduciary Financial Partners, we stand apart as a fee-only, commission-free firm, specializing in retirement and tax planning. Our model breaks away from the norm of commission-based advisors that might harbor hidden costs or potential conflicts of interest.

   

  Instead, we follow a simple, transparent fee structure. This single fee takes care of managing all your investment accounts and provides for ongoing retirement, tax, and financial planning.

   

   

  Assets under Management	Annual Fee Rate
  Initial $1,000,000	1.00%
  Next $1,000,000	0.85%
  Next $3,000,000	0.75%
  Next $2,500,000	0.50%
  Next $2,500,000	0.35%
  All Assets over $10,000,000	0.25%

   

   

  The value proposition is clear and simple with us: the benefits you gain—the time you save, the peace of mind you’ll have, potential tax savings, possibly improved investment returns—should surpass what you pay us.

   

  We bring this to life with our Retirement Assessment, which lays out these benefits clearly. If you're considering a financial advisor who can tailor strategies to your unique financial goals, take the first step and schedule a call with us. Let's explore the secure financial future we can build together. Schedule your first call with us.

• Where do you hold my investments and how can I see them?

  For your convenience and safety, FFP uses Charles Schwab as a third-party custodian for our client investment and retirement accounts.

  
  

  ***Charles Schwab administers more than $7.38 trillion in assets for more than 33.8 million retirement savers.

  
  

  As a trusted custodian, Schwab safely holds your investment accounts and provides reporting to you and the IRS each year. Your accounts can be viewed at any time at www.fiduciaryfinancialpartners.com via our client portal or at Charles Schwab.

• Why should I consider hiring Fiduciary Financial Partners?

  At Fiduciary Financial Partners, we prioritize your financial success by focusing on what you can control. We don't chase market trends or attempt to predict the unpredictable. Instead, we specialize in lowering your tax bill, smarter investing, and creating a reliable retirement income.

  
  

  If you’re looking for an advisor who will trade stocks to “beat the market,” you’re in the wrong place. Why? Because predicting if the stock market will go up or down, or guessing what interest rates will do next, are not things you can control.
