Services & Pricing

Working on laptop

The financial planning industry is struggling to match generating value to clients with fair compensation to advisors. Valor Wealth Partners has designed fee structures that allow each family or individual to control the level of service they feel accurately meets their needs. We believe our unique structure allows the highest level of cost transparency and prevents the conflicts of interest that arise from more typical methodologies.

Are We the Best Advisor for You? 

We want to serve families and individuals when we are a perfect fit for each other. To help you answer this question we created 2 videos to simplify the most common questions.

  • Are there different types of advisors?

  • How are advisors compensated?

We are fiduciary, fee-only financial planners.

If this sounds like whom you want to build a long-term relationship with, keep checking us out.

The Fee-Only Fiduciary Model

Many advisors are still being paid by companies for the products they sell clients. This creates a conflict of interest on who benefits most from the transaction. As a fee-only wealth advisory firm, our advice is independent from the solutions we may recommend. Valor Wealth Partners does not accept commissions from the sale of any investment, insurance, or banking products. Our only compensation is from you, our client. Because of this fiduciary responsibility to our clients, we are able to offer the most suitable advice to meet your unique financial needs. Please review the Fiduciary Oath that all employees must sign.

Compare Your Options

You have many choices when selecting an advisor and the titles can be confusing. The general categories below are a starting point to help understand how we stand out. Some companies may go beyond their categories with more services.

 

As you can see from the chart below, most categories of financial advisors focus on investments. In addition to those services, Valor Wealth Partners delivers financial planning and understanding the needs of federal employees.

Explore Our Unique Programs

If we decide to work together, we offer 3 programs to help you on your path to financial success.

  1. For most clients, the starting point is developing an Initial Financial Plan to map out major goals and concerns as we go forward.

  2. Once we know what you want to achieve, our Ongoing Service helps guide you and keep you accountable as financial obstacles arise.

  3. Investment Management is an optional service for our clients so they can avoid the day-to-day hassles of portfolio management.
