When I started practicing as a Fee-only financial planner and Investment advisor in 2017, I had a static fee for all type of clients and a static service offering as Comprehensive Financial Planning.
My experience taught me two things –
- Not everybody needs Comprehensive Financial Planning and
- Even within “Comprehensive Financial Plan” the level of “Comprehensiveness” changes depending on the life stage of the person
It made me feel that I am overcharging for some people/life stages (for whom I reduced the fee on a case to case basis) and undercharging for some others (for whom I didn’t increase the fees. Once I have given a word, it stands).
With that experience, I have grouped the services into “Bachelor”, “Family” and “Retired”.
Details of the services and fee structure for each category is given in the links below:
