Know Exactly What You Pay Your Financial Advisor—And Why.
When creating a tax strategy and plan, it’s important that you receive objective advice that’s truly in your best interest.
Unlike other advisors who mask their planning fees with seemingly marginal percentages, or make commission from the sale of products, we operate from a core belief: our primary focus is to enhance your wealth, not ours.
That’s true fiduciary responsibility.
Transparent Fee-Only Structure
We charge a clear fee for the time and resources it takes the do the planning work required.
Dollars, Not Percentages
We believe it’s unfair to pay more simply because you’re worth more. That’s what a percentage-based fee does. Our fixed-dollar fees reflect our work, not your net worth.
No Commissions
We don’t receive compensation for the sale of securities, insurance products, or other investments.
No Performance-Based Fees
Performance-based compensation creates an incentive for advisors to recommend riskier investments.
No Hidden Costs
We don’t pay referral fees to third-parties, participate in wrap-fee programs, or charge fees for work we don’t perform.
We Work For You
Some firms make money from referral fees. Not at PDS. The only person who pays us is you.
