FAQs

Is a Flat-Fee Financial Advisor Right for You?

Yes, if you want a fixed cost instead of a percentage of your portfolio. A one-time plan costs $2,700. An ongoing membership starts as low as $100 per month. Neither requires a minimum balance. Our third option, Financial Planning and Investment Management, is priced as a percentage of assets and is best suited for clients with $300,000 or more in assets.

Are You Fee-Only or Fee-Based?

Wela is a fee-only registered investment adviser. We don't sell commission-based products or earn commissions on what we recommend.

What Does Fiduciary Actually Mean?

A fiduciary must act in your best interest, not just recommend investments or products that may ear cpmissions or kickbacks. . Every advisor at Wela is a fiduciary and a CFP® professional.

Is Wela Affordable Without a Large Portfolio?

Yes. The Financial Planning Membership costs $100 to $225 a month based on your income and net worth. Same planning team, same six-month reviews, same support as larger-portfolio clients. Semi-annual payment gets a 15% discount; quarterly gets 10% off.

 Does Wela Charge By the Hour?

No. Every tier is flat monthly, flat one-time, or asset-based. Never hourly, so there's no incentive to drag out a conversation.
