    - Fee-Only Financial Advisors
      - Overview
        Fee-Only refers to compensation for a service. A Fee-Only financial advisor charges the client directly for advice and/or ongoing financial management. No other financial reward is provided by any institution, which means that the advisor does not receive commissions or other forms of compensation on the actions they take on the client’s behalf.

    - Retirement Planning
      - Overview
        The beginning is the most important part of the work. Within your family, needs are different and reasons for prosperity differ, so the roads may wind in a variety of directions. It’s important to take the time to see beyond the moment and develop your longer-term vison.
        
        Long-term success doesn’t come from knowing the right answers. It comes from asking the right questions. If you don’t dedicate the time up front to work through the tough questions, you may spend more time later correcting missteps and trying to make up for lost time, sometimes desperately.

    - Investment Management
      - Overview
        We are deliberate, disciplined investors, not stock pickers, traders and market timers.
        
        When we invest, we want to be long-term owners of enduringly profitable businesses, because that is where wealth is created. When we invest in a diversified portfolio of individual stocks for our clients, we are buying small parts of businesses for them to own as a long-term owner. It’s how we invest our own family’s money. We eat our own cooking.
