  • How do you get paid?
    Our compensation is primarily derived from the assets we manage on your behalf and the financial products used to help you achieve your goals. There is no fee for creating a comprehensive financial plan. However, an annual fee may apply depending on the complexity of your plan and the level of assets under management. I’m committed to working with you every step of the way—until your goals are fully realized.
  • Why do I need a financial planner?
    For most clients, there are two big reasons to hire a financial planner. First, I have the expertise and experience to see areas of weakness in your finances that require attention. Second, I collaborate with you and guide you at each stage of Life. A plan written on paper isn’t worth, if it’s not put into action.
  • Who is NOT a good fit for Aum Financial Solutions?
    Anyone who thinks I have a crystal ball to predict movements of the markets will not be well served at Aum Financial Solutions. Investments in client portfolios are utilized as a tool to help clients achieve their financial goals. Investing in the markets should feel more like watching grass grow.
  • Do I have to pay for a consultation?
    Our first meeting will take place over the phone or via video call. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, explore your financial goals, and determine the level of planning that may be needed. We'll briefly discuss your current financial situation, identify potential opportunities, and decide whether we’re a good fit to work together. Annual reviews may carry a fee if the assets under management are substantial or if the financial plan involves a high level of complexity.
  • Do I have to come to your office?
    I’m always happy to meet with clients in my office, but I also understand that time is incredibly valuable—especially in this stage of life. That’s why we’ve built systems that give you easy access to all the information you need to understand your finances, right from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. With this convenience, we can have meaningful conversations by video or phone without interrupting your routine or requiring a trip to the office. If you prefer in-person chats, we can mutually decide a place to meet.
  • I want to be debt free. Can you help me?
    Yes, debt can be a major obstacle to financial freedom and should be addressed as a priority. The sooner you eliminate debt—including your mortgage—the more flexibility and peace of mind you'll have in your financial life. Effective debt management is a key component of overall financial planning. I can work with you to create a structured plan and process to help reduce and eventually eliminate debt from your monthly obligations as early as possible.
