Tom Fisher is a member of NAPFA, the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors. NAPFA members practice Fee-Only financial planning which is client-centered, objective and ethical. NAPFA members must (1) submit a comprehensive financial plan for peer review and complete continuing education in six subject areas every two years, (2) have their regulatory disclosure documents (Form ADV) reviewed annually by an independent third party, and (3) sign and abide by NAPFA’s Fiduciary Oath, a commitment to working solely in the client’s interest at all times. As a Fee-Only advisory firm, we avoid the conflicts of interest that can arise when advisors receive compensation from vendors of financial products (including investment funds, money managers and insurance companies). Fee-Only advisors provide objective financial advice, keeping only the best interests of the client in mind. For more information, visit NAPFA’s fiduciary information site at Fiduciary 101.
