Fee For Service Financial Planning
There are many ways to access financial planning services, but what’s the difference between fee for service financial planning and fee only financial planning?
Fee for service financial planners offer their services as part of a practice that includes selling products, such as investments or insurance. As such their advice is often based on the products that they sell. They will sometimes offer financial planning advice as a service but with a discount if you choose to buy products from them. Often those other products are where they make the bulk of their money from. There’s an incentive for a fee for service financial planner to steer you towards the products that they sell which may not necessarily be what makes the most sense for you.
