David A. Dowd, CFP^®

I provide comprehensive and unbiased fee-only financial advice, where the value of my services exceeds the fee I charge.

Let me describe that statement in a little more detail.

1. Comprehensive
• I work with you to understand all aspects of your finances. By knowing the full picture, I help clients reach their goals by avoiding costly mistakes, often overlooked by other financial advisors.
2. Unbiased
• I do not sell financial products; receive any commissions or referral fees. This minimizes conflicts of interest, so that my focus is on providing financial advice that is best for you. If I have a conflict of interest, I will disclose it, as soon as I am aware of it.
3. Fee only
• I charge an annual fee and you will know the amount upfront. The fee is based on your income, assets and the complexity of your situation. This is the only amount you will pay me annually. You can meet or call me as often as necessary, to help you accomplish your financial goals
4. Provide value that exceeds my fee
• I will not enter a business relationship with you unless the value of my services exceed the fee I charge.
