What is a fee-only financial planner?
Working with fee-only financial planners means you pay for guidance — not for assets under management, product commissions, or a sales pitch. Your fee-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 fee-only financial planners are for
Nectarine fee-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 Fee-Only Financial Planners
Fee-Only Means No Commissions: Fee-only financial planners are paid by clients, not by product companies. They don't earn kickbacks for recommending mutual funds, annuities, or insurance — so the plan can stay focused on what fits your goals rather than what pays the planner.
Fee-Only Isn't Always Flat-Fee: Many people searching for fee-only financial planners assume pricing is simple. In practice, most fee-only firms still charge about 1% of assets under management every year. That's commission-free, but it's still an ongoing percentage tied to how much you've saved.
Planning Without the AUM Model: On Nectarine, fee-only financial planners charge a transparent hourly or project fee for the advice itself. You get a real financial plan — retirement, investing, taxes, equity compensation, cash flow — without handing over portfolio management or paying more simply because your balance grew.
Fiduciary Duty, Clear Incentives: Fee-only planners who act as fiduciaries are obligated to put your interests first. Combine that with upfront pricing (not AUM) and you remove two common conflicts: product sales and assets-under-management incentives.
Built for People Who Want a Plan, Not a Permanent Manager: If you want expert planning help, implement on your own timeline, and keep your accounts where they are, fee-only financial planners with flat or hourly fees are often the cleanest fit. Pay for the work. Keep control of your money.

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!!
