Working with fee-only financial advisors like us gives you the benefit of unbiased advice on investment and money management. We don't earn any commission fees from your transactions or investments, so our top priority is always your interests.
Our team is committed to fully understanding your unique situation so that every penny is wisely handled throughout each step. We are committed to ensuring everything goes well for you financially now and into the future.
No Hidden Agendas
The point of choosing an independent advisor is that we don't have any hidden agendas or incentives to push specific products. We only provide advice based on what's best for you without being influenced by commissions or kickbacks on various services and products.
Fee-Only Financial Advice
Financial planning is a crucial part of life for all of us. But it can be overwhelming, especially in Minnesota, due to its financial regulations and tax laws.
When creating an individualized plan that best suits your financial needs and goals, we are the ultimate resource. As independent and objective advisors, we provide advice tailored specifically for you without any bias toward particular companies or products.
When you partner with us for wealth management, you benefit from our expertise in personal finance, such as retirement planning, investment strategies, estate planning, or even help reviewing your insurance coverage.
More so, it offers additional freedom to create custom plans that fit your needs and help you reach desired goals while minimizing risks associated with investing money into stocks, mutual funds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), etc.; we take into account all the specifics of your situation so nothing is overlooked.
Difference Between Fee-Only and Commission-Based
Commission-based advisors earn a commission on the products and services they sell to clients. This creates a potential conflict of interest, as the advisor could be incentivized to recommend products that are not in your best interest.
Furthermore, commission-based advisors may not have a fiduciary duty to their clients. Instead, they are only required to recommend products "suitable" for the client, which may not necessarily be the best option.
Choosing a fee-only financial advisor like Phillip James Financial gives you peace of mind knowing that we're always working solely in your best interest.
Tax Planning and Preparation
As professional financial planners, we offer invaluable advice on navigating intricate laws surrounding taxes. No more missing out on any deductions or credits due to a lack of knowledge of applicable federal regulations.
Some of our clients have saved thousands by capitalizing on all permissible tax cuts and rules. When making sure your money works hard for you, professional advice is the way to go.
