How do you get paid?As your financial advisory team, we get paid in a few different ways. One way is through a fee-based model, where we charge a percentage of the assets that we manage for you. Another way is through a commission-based model, where we receive a commission for the financial products that we sell to you. We may receive a combination of both fee-based and commission-based compensation. We always act in your best interest, providing the best advice possible. These fees provide us with an income and help us pay for the many office and administration expenses that come along with running a boutique advisory business.
