Plain Talk: Services and Fees

Bormann Wealth Management is a fee-only fiduciary practice, and is never compensated by commissions or from pushing specific financial products.

Fee Schedule

Assets Under Management:

1% on first $250,000
0.50% on next $750,000 (to $1M)
0.25% on next $1M (to $2M)
0.10% on any portion over $2M.

This annual rate is divided up quarterly, prorated for the number of days in each quarter, and invoiced in arrears. All managed accounts in a household can be aggregated for the purpose of reducing fees.

Hourly Advice and Consulting:

$250 per hour for financial planning and advice.

Hourly rate billed in 15 minute increments, 1 hour minimum. Contact by email for an estimate if you have a specific project in mind. If you have assets under management with BWM, hourly charges can be offset by asset-based fees paid.

Flat Fee or Hourly Planning Package

If you prefer to self-manage your investment accounts or only want planning advice, we can work together on a "project" basis.

Initial Setup: building out your financial plan, presenting it for review, and answering any questions you may have. Estimated fee is for 2 to 6 hours of advisor's time, depending on the complexity of your situation and how many household members are included.

Ongoing Planning: keeping in touch to help you stay on track. Billed for 1 hour of advisor's time, per quarter ($250 invoiced each 3 months). Covers maintenance of your plan, annual review meeting, and brief consultations on demand. You also have access to a digital financial planning portal where you can track your net worth, budget, and see your progress in real time.

The Ongoing Planning charge can be waived if you bring assets under management with BWM.
