Your Life, All Working Together

Most advisors look at each area of your finances in isolation. We coordinate every aspect — investments, taxes, estate planning, insurance, and retirement — so each decision supports the others. This integration saves you time, reduces stress, and increases your long-term results.

Flat Fee. Fee-Only. 
100% Transparent.

No percentage of asset fee. No commissions. Just one, clear, flat fee. You’ll always know what you’re paying, for the value you deserve.

Guiding Principle

Financial planning involves coordinating many areas of your financial life, such as estate planning, tax considerations, investment management, and insurance. Too often, these pieces are managed separately, with little communication between professionals. At Local Wealth Management, our role is to take a comprehensive view of your situation and help align each area so that they work together in support of your goals.

Financial Planning FAQ

What's the difference between financial planning and just having my investments managed?

Financial planning is coordinating investments, taxes, estate planning, insurance, and retirement into one actionable plan that evolves with your life.

Investment management is the intentional design of your portfolio based on your goals, preferences, and risk tolerance.

Most people think they need separate advisors for different things – someone for investments, someone for taxes, and someone for insurance. That approach leaves you isolated.

Everything should flow through one comprehensive financial plan. When your situation changes, your plan changes. That requires an ongoing relationship, not a one-time conversation.

We recognize that many people have concerns about the financial services industry, particularly around transparency and advisor incentives. That’s why at Local Wealth Management, we use a flat-fee, fee-only structure and operate as fiduciaries, placing our clients’ interests at the center of the planning process.
