Fee-for-Service Financial Planners
- NAPFA – Locate a Financial Adviser in the U.S.
- MoneySense Directory of fee-only financial planners in Canada (Update: No longer offered as of Aug. 1, 2018)
- Alternatively, try the Institute of Advanced Financial Planners (IAFP, Canada.) Check with each supplier to clarify whether they offer true fee-for-service financial planning
- Given the above, the Financial Independence Hub invites true “fee-for-service” financial planners (NOT asset-based) to email jonchevreau8@gmail.com and we will post here, starting with the short list below. Note that fee-for-service financial planning is one of the three main components of the investing model in the book Findependence Day, complementing discount brokerages and ETFs.
