Experience & Pricing
We tailor our services and pricing to each client’s goals, complexity, and planning needs.
How We Work
Our first priority is helping you take care of yourself and your family. We want to learn more about your personal situation, identify your dreams and goals, and understand your tolerance for risk. Long-term relationships that encourage open and honest communication have been the cornerstone of my foundation.
Every client’s financial situation is different, so our services and pricing are tailored to the level of planning and coordination involved.
At Wealthmark Advisors, we work closely with clients to help organize the moving pieces of their financial life through:
- Retirement & Pre-Retirement Planning
- Tax-Efficient Planning
- Investment & Wealth Management
- Legacy & Estate Planning
Most people are not simply looking for investment management. They’re looking for clarity, coordination, and confidence — especially as financial lives become more complex.
Below is a general overview of how we structure our advisory relationships and fees.

Phase 2
In Phase 2, you engage with our advisors on a continuing basis as we serve as your dedicated fiduciary asset managers. Our role is to provide proactive, personalized wealth management and financial planning, with your best interests as our guiding principle.
We charge an annual advisory fee that is structured as a percentage of the assets under our management. This fee arrangement aligns our performance with yours—the more your portfolio grows, the better we both do.*
The management fee is negotiable, depending on the scope and complexity of the relationship, and is assessed and billed quarterly. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, the fee is calculated based on the market value of the assets in your account at the end of each calendar quarter.
Through this ongoing relationship, you gain access to our full suite of planning and investment services, regular reviews, and continuous monitoring of your financial plan to help give you clarity and confidence in pursuing your long-term goals.
*A wrap fee arrangement aligns the adviser’s compensation with the value of client assets under management; however, it also creates an incentive for the adviser to recommend strategies that increase or maintain those assets. Clients will incur the wrap fee regardless of portfolio performance, and investment results are not guaranteed. In certain circumstances, the total cost of a wrap fee program may be higher than paying for advisory services and transaction costs separately.
In addition to the annual management fee, PPS Custom Program clients may pay transaction charges, administrative charges, and miscellaneous account fees and charges, as described in the Master Services Agreement (MSA) or PPS Client Agreement (as applicable) and Commonwealth’s ADV Part 2A Brochure.
