I charge a flat fee because I want clients to know what they are paying for.
The work is not a mystery. We build and maintain a plan. We review the decisions that affect it. We talk through transitions, questions, and priorities as they arise.
A portfolio balance may change with the market. The planning work should still be clear.
That does not mean a flat-fee arrangement is the only way to work with an advisor. It does mean the fee structure belongs in the conversation, not in the fine print.
Every client should be able to ask how the advisor is paid, what is included, and how the relationship is meant to serve them.
