OUR PRICING
What Do We Charge?
Elser Financial Planning is strictly fee-only. That means we are only ever paid by you, our client, and never from investment providers or for referrals to other professionals.
As fiduciaries, we happily accept the legal obligation to act in our clients’ best interests at all times. Everything about who we are and why we’re in business revolves around honesty, integrity, and transparency. That’s why we’ve decided to set a precedent for transparent pricing in our industry by making it as easy as possible for you to know what we charge.
*Note: as you view the following material, remember that our initial, exploratory meeting and/or phone call with you is complimentary. We won’t charge you anything until we provide you with a document detailing the services we’ll provide and what you’ll pay.
