Project-Based Financial Planning

Lattice Financial offers financial planning on a project basis for those who do not wish to engage an advisor on an ongoing basis.  This works best if you have a specific area you need help with and do not want ongoing investment management or ongoing financial planning.  A set fee will be agreed upon at the beginning of the project so you know exactly how much you will be paying.
