Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We operate on a fee-based model. Our fees vary depending on the services provided and the complexity of your situation. We discuss all fees transparently during your initial consultation — there are no hidden costs or surprises. Schedule a complimentary introductory meeting to learn more.
Not at all. Our practice is 100% virtual, which means we serve clients nationwide. All meetings take place via video call or phone. We have offices in Silver Spring, MD and Virginia Beach, VA, but the majority of our client interactions happen online.
A fiduciary is a financial professional who is legally obligated to act in your best interest — not their own. We are committed to acting as fiduciaries in our advisory relationships, which means our advice is always driven by what's best for you, not what generates the most compensation for us.
Unlike many larger advisory firms that limit their client list to the very wealthy, we work with clients across a range of asset levels. We believe everyone deserves quality financial guidance. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
The first step is a complimentary introductory consultation — a 30–45 minute conversation where we get to know each other, discuss your goals, and determine if we're the right fit. You can book directly through our scheduling page or fill out the contact form and we'll reach out within one business day.
Yes. We have extensive experience helping federal employees navigate FERS, FEGLI, TSP, CSRS, and the broader federal benefits landscape. This is a specialized area that many generalist advisors don't fully understand — we do.
