“Fee-Only” refers to our compensation structure. To avoid conflicts of interest, “fee-only” planners are compensated solely with fees paid by their clients and do not accept commissions or compensation from any other source. There is no pressure to purchase specific products and there are no hidden commissions. Because AFA, LLC does not sell products or receive commissions or other compensation from third parties, we want you to feel confident that our recommendations are impartial and unbiased. Although it is impossible for any compensation structure to be completely conflict free, we do believe that our approach is objective. As fiduciaries, we always provide advice that we believe to be in the best interest of our clients.
