Our Process
Our Fiduciary Duty
At Pathfinder Wealth Advisors, we are your fiduciary in the planning and investment services we provide. What does this mean for you? We follow a simple formula:
We are loyal and always place your interests above our firm’s interest when making recommendations for specific investments, tax planning and financial planning strategies.
Our care is demonstrated by the skill, expertise and experience we employ in providing quality advice and guidance.
We are guided by your goals, risk tolerance and personal circumstances.
We listen and pay attention to what is on your mind. Our promise to focus on the concerns that are closest to your heart.
Our Simple Approach to Fees
Do you know how much your advisor charges for the services provided to you? One study concluded that 1 in 5 clients don’t know how much they are paying and the same study determined that another 10% don’t even know if they are paying any fees!
The Pathfinder approach to fees is very simple.
We do not receive commissions or sell products.
Our fees are fully transparent for advice to help you accomplish your goals.
You pay a percentage based on your current investment portfolio balances (assets under management) and you pay a fixed fee for financial and tax planning services.
We explain your fees prior to your signing any agreement with us.
