One traditional drawback to many Fee-Only financial planning firms has been that often times these practices impose strict limits on prospective clients based on their net worth or the size of their investment portfolio. “While I still appreciate the opportunity of working with high-net worth individuals, I want to make my expertise available to people like myself that need high-quality objective investment advice but have traditionally slipped under the radar screen of most Fee-Only planners.” In order to remedy this situation, Contour provides services on an hourly, as-needed basis or per project depending on the client’s needs.

Contour’s planning process reduces the client’s time in financial advisory meetings and concludes with a concise action plan for them to implement as they take charge of their financial future.  The client has complete freedom in implementing their plan.
