What is an advice-only financial planner?
Working with advice-only financial planners means you pay for guidance — not for assets under management, product commissions, or a sales pitch. Your advice-only financial planner helps you decide what to do next while you keep control of your accounts and investments.
No AUM fees
You are not charged a percentage of your portfolio every year.
No product sales
We never sell investments or insurance, so advice stays objective.
You keep your accounts
Get a clear plan and implement it where you already bank and invest.
Who advice-only financial planners are for
Nectarine advice-only financial planners are a strong fit if you want expert help building a plan, answering specific questions, or staying on track — without handing over your money or signing up for opaque percentage fees.

Why Advice-Only Financial Planners
Advice Without Asset Management: Advice-only financial planners get paid to advise — not to manage your portfolio. Unlike traditional advisors who charge a percentage of assets under management (AUM), advice-only planners separate planning from money management so you can keep investing how and where you prefer.
Not the Same as Fee-Only: “Fee-only” means an advisor doesn't take commissions, but most fee-only firms still charge ongoing AUM fees. Advice-only goes further: you pay a clear project or hourly fee for guidance, then implement on your own (or with a separate manager you choose). No quiet annual drag tied to how much you've saved.
You Keep Custody and Control: Your brokerage and retirement accounts stay in your name. An advice-only planner helps with retirement planning, tax-aware investing, equity compensation, 401(k) rollovers, and big money decisions — without requiring you to move assets onto their platform.
No Product Sales, No Commissions: Recommendations aren't tied to mutual funds, insurance, or managed accounts the planner earns from. That reduces conflicts of interest and keeps the conversation focused on what's best for your goals.
Built for Hands-On Investors: If you want a fiduciary second opinion, a written plan, or answers to complex questions — without signing up for perpetual wealth management — advice-only financial planners are designed for that. Pay for expertise when you need it; stay in the driver's seat the rest of the time.

I had an excellent session with Adam. He took the time to break down complex scenarios into actionable steps, giving me total clarity. If you're looking for a sharp, objective financial professional who can cut through the noise and provide immediate value, I highly recommend working with Adam.
Diana was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us quickly make some decisions that will help us tremendously. She can explain technical items very clearly in an easy to understand way. I look forward to working with her more to put myself in the best position for financial success.
Working with James was great! This was my first time working with an advisor, and I found him to be friendly and encouraging right off the bat. He listened to my concerns and questions, and took the time needed to address them. Having the recap email afterwards was SO helpful. Thanks James!!
