We are fee-only, but different.
We are perfect for the DIYer, but can also help you implement your plan.
We have the strengths of a traditional firm without the fees based on portfolio size.
Pay only for the time you need — by the hour. No asset management fees, no subscription fees. Discover why people across the country, from those just starting out to those with complex situations, get their financial advice from Unique Wealth Appreciation™. We are fee-only, but different.
Unique Wealth Appreciation has always been a fee-only fiduciary financial planning firm. Like other fee-only firms, we don’t receive commissions based on our recommendations. Unlike other fee-only firms, our fees are not tied to the size of your investment portfolio. We simply charge for our time by the hour. You only pay for the time you need. You also receive an upfront quote on your initial financial plan — so there are no surprises.
Unique Wealth Appreciation is the largest hourly-only financial planning firm in the country. Our team approach ensures your plan is reviewed by multiple advisors with different areas of expertise and specialized knowledge. You’ll have access to the strengths of a traditional wealth management firm, but only pay for the time you need.
We provide the advice and you implement the plan (or we can help you implement if you prefer). And while we offer investment advice, we don’t take custody of your assets nor do we have any account minimums, so we can truly serve you whether your financial life is complex or relatively simple.
If you are ready to clarify your goals, develop an action plan, and get equipped to take control of your financial life, contact us to arrange a no-obligation introductory meeting.
