8.9/ 10 · Editorially reviewed

Your own dedicated CFP — without the assets-under-management markup

$2,400–$8,000/year flat fee

Why We Like It

Facet's flat-fee model eliminates the conflict of interest inherent in percentage-based AUM fees. Your dedicated CFP has no incentive to grow your portfolio beyond what's right for your family — and their comprehensive planning scope covers taxes, insurance, and estate alongside investments.
