Do you really need a financial advisor?
If you are considering the uncertainties of retirement, going through a difficult financial transition, uncertain about the practicality of your life plans, or in need of experienced counsel, you should consider a comprehensive financial advisor. Professional advisors can offer a wealth of experience, contribute significant technical knowledge, and add significant value.

Where do you begin?
Call and discuss the concerns that have brought you thus far. One of our advisors will make an appointment for you to come to our office. Our initial consultation session is free. This friendly exchange of information and ideas will help you get to know us. Together we will discuss your concerns and questions, review the areas in which we can advise you, show you examples of our work, and discuss fees.

What are BWFA fees?
As fee-only financial advisors, we charge fees in several ways, depending on what you wish us to do. We may charge a flat fee for planning, a per schedule fee for tax preparation, a percentage fee for investment management, or occasionally even an hourly fee. We suggest you come to your first session prepared to discuss what you may need us to help you with. Together we will then scope the proposed engagement, show you examples of the work we might do, and negotiate a fee arrangement that meets your need. more on our fees

Why should you choose a fee-only advisor?
Choosing an advisor is a very personal decision that may come with some uncertainty. What we offer is financial advice about how to solve life issues, but what our clients get is peace of mind that comes from working with advisors that they trust will put their needs first. As fee-only advisors, we do not sell or receive compensation from recommending specific investments or insurance. Our success depends on the quality of our advice and the satisfaction of our clients. more on Fee-Only

Where is BWFA's office?
We are near the Mall in Columbia. Call or email and see our directions page.

How much time should you allow for your first meeting?
About an hour is sufficient for most people.

What is the advantage of working with a boutique firm like BWFA?
We use a team approach at BWFA. Your primary advisor will coordinate and monitor the services we provide you. But, you will not need to depend on the efforts and ongoing health of one person. He or she will head a service team which will include tax, investment and financial planning personnel as needed.
