Our Fees

At Nxt:Gen Financial Planning, we specialize in working with clients in their 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. These clients have different needs compared to those who are near or at retirement. As such, they require a different approach to planning.

Nxt:Gen Financial Planning was created to meet the unique planning needs of these young professionals. We charge a flat annual fee that can be broken up into monthly or quarterly payments for convenience. This allows individuals shut out by traditional service models that require $500,000 or more in assets to manage, access to high quality, unbiased financial advice. And those traditional models only look to manage your investments, and not the other more important aspects of your financial life.

As a real world example, a traditional firm would charge on average a 1.25% fee to manage your hypothetical $500,000 portfolio. Your cost? $6,250. Value gained? Investment management services only. Should you also want financial planning services, those same traditional firms would charge you a seperate fee for those services on top of the investment management fee. Please keep this in mind as you browse our service offerings.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Approach is designed to conduct our first 3 meetings over an 8-10 week period. From there, we meet quarterly with a focus on the priorities outlined in our annual client service calendar following the last two steps of Our Approach. We revisit the full financial plan annually, and adjust our priority topics for the upcoming year. We will grow with you as your priorities shift and new needs arise. Nxt:Gen Personal CFO clients are also welcome to schedule meetings on an as needed basis, as well as calling or emailing us with any questions you might have as they arise. We will return all emails and phone calls within 24 hours.

This fee is broken up into two payments, with one half due before starting our engagement and the other due at the delivery of your financial plan. Should you want to engage in an ongoing relationship, our fee would range from $2,400 – $6,000 annually. The annual fee is broken into quarterly or monthly payments based on convenience.
