We Believe That Transparent Fees are Important: Here's Why
You’ve worked hard for your money. It’s important that you know how you’re spending it.
At Financial Cornerstones, we believe that offering great solutions, providing superior service, and communicating our fees is an important foundation of our relationship.
We offer you a transparent, simple, and easy-to-understand pricing structure. As a firm, it is our responsibility to be cost-efficient and to implement a fee structure that avoids the inherent conflicts of interest found in other payment methods. We believe that this is in the best interest of you, our client.
Advisors Fees vs. Investment Product Fees
We give advice – financial planning, retirement planning, college planning, tax planning, business planning.
And we are investment managers – building and monitoring investment portfolios. We do it well, and we do it in a way that minimizes the investment product fee, often less than 0.1%.
Why pay 1% to an advisor, who then places your investments in securities that cost another 1%? You may be paying 2% or more, and that’s not right.
All Encompassing Fee
Financial Cornerstones offers an all-encompassing fee. This includes our investment management, our planning suite, and anything else that can help you be a good steward of your resources. You will never be billed on the clock with our team.
Our goal is to allow you to save your God-given nonrenewable resource: time!

Comprehensive Management Fee Schedule
Annualized fees are billed on a pro-rata basis monthly in arrears based on the value of the accounts on the time-weighted daily average of the month. These fees are tiered so additional invested assets are subject to lower fees.
