Fee-Only Financial Planning
The term "financial planning" has been misused to the point that it has become synonymous with insurance and securities - with "product sales" being the real agenda.
True financial planning, however, is about strategy creation that results in a roadmap to success. It involves taking a comprehensive view of one's current reality (including individual lifestyle, income and personal relationships), establishing clear, realistic goals for the future, and setting a sound course to achieve those objectives. Financial planning should always focus on unbiased advice uniquely tailored to each individual's circumstances. It should never be about product sales or commissions.
Carnick & Kubik provides a comprehensive range of fee-only financial planning services for every stage of life. Whether you are starting to build your future, opening your own business, planning your retirement years, or just entering the workplace after graduation, we can help you move forward on solid financial footing.
