Not everyone should work with Financial Legacy Builders. And that's okay.
This page exists to give you clarity before you book a consultation. If you're a fit, great. Let's talk. If you're not, I'll respect that and point you in a better direction.
You're a great fit if any of these resonate with you
Financial planning isn't passive. It requires honesty about your situation, follow-through on recommendations, and a willingness to change what's not working. I'll guide you, but you have to show up and execute.
You're a veteran, military family member, teacher, first responder, government employee, or working-class individual who's been told you're "not wealthy enough" for financial planning. That's exactly who this firm was built for.
You're tired of advisors who talk in circles, hide fees, and push products. You want straight answers about your money, clear pricing (1% of household income), and someone who's legally required to put your interests first.
You're in your earning years, trying to get ahead, and you need a comprehensive plan that covers cash flow, debt, taxes, insurance, retirement, and estate planning. Not just investment management.
You don't just want a plan handed to you. You want someone who will teach you how money works, challenge your assumptions, and hold you accountable to following through.
You're ready to have honest conversations about where you are financially (even if it's uncomfortable), what's holding you back, and what needs to change. No judgment. Just real talk.
Sound like you? Let's start with a conversation.
Schedule a Free DiagnosisThis isn't about judgment—it's about finding the right match
Our planning process is designed for people in their accumulation and wealth-building years. If you're already retired or within a few years of retirement, you need a different type of advisor who specializes in distribution and income planning.
If you're already wealthy and need estate tax planning, trust structures, and complex wealth preservation strategies, you need a firm that specializes in high-net-worth clients. That's not us.
If all you need is someone to manage your portfolio and you're not interested in comprehensive financial planning (cash flow, debt, taxes, insurance, estate planning), we're not the right fit. Our model is holistic planning, not portfolio-only management.
If you're looking for someone to tell you "yes" or "no" on a specific decision without understanding your complete financial situation, that's not how we operate. We're fiduciaries. We can't give advice without knowing your full context.
If you want a plan but won't implement it, we'll both be frustrated. Financial planning only works if you actually do what we map out together. If you're not ready to take action, wait until you are.
If you want day trading tips, crypto speculation, or shortcuts to wealth, look elsewhere. We build practical, disciplined, long-term financial plans that actually work. Yes, we incorporate diversity with alternative sources, but it is NEVER the only asset. If that sounds unexciting, we're not your people.
I'll educate you. I'll build a strategy that matches your risk tolerance. But if you refuse to diversify your portfolio with safety and liquidity, we won't be able to work together effectively.
A quick reference to help you decide
| Good Fit | Not a Fit |
|---|---|
| Ages 18-55, building wealth | Age 55+, already retired or close to it |
| Veterans, military families, working-class individuals | Ultra-high net worth ($5M+ needing estate tax planning) |
| Household income focus, no asset minimums | Only want portfolio management, no planning |
| Want comprehensive planning (cash flow, debt, taxes, insurance, estate, retirement) | Just want quick answers on specific decisions |
| Ready to implement recommendations and do the work | Want a plan but won't follow through |
| Value transparency and straight talk | Need constant reassurance during market volatility |
| Looking for coaching, accountability, and education | Looking for shortcuts or get-rich-quick strategies |
| Open to vulnerability and honest conversations | Prefer surface-level advice without depth |
| Want fee-only fiduciary (1% of income pricing) | Comfortable with commission-based advisors |
See yourself on the left side? We should talk.
Book a Complimentary ConsultationHere's the reality of who we work best with
Our pricing is 1% of your household income. If you make $40K, you pay $400. If you make $150K, you pay $1,500. This model works best for people earning between $40K-$250K annually. Below that, financial planning may not be your highest priority yet. Above that, you might need more specialized services.
You're working, raising a family, managing debt, saving for retirement, and trying to get ahead. You're not already retired.
You're willing to admit what's not working. You're ready to take action, not just collect information.
You've been overlooked by traditional advisors, told you don't have enough assets, or you're tired of conflicting advice from blogs and podcasts. You want a real plan from a real person.
Check all the boxes? Let's build your plan.
Get Started — It's FreeYou don't waste time booking a consultation only to find out we're not the right fit. You get to make an informed decision before we ever talk.
I can focus my time on people I can actually help instead of spinning my wheels with prospects who need a different type of advisor.
Mutual respect. If we're not right for each other, that's not a failure. It's honesty. And honesty is the foundation of every good financial relationship.
If you read this page and you're thinking, "I'm 90% sure I'm a fit, but I have questions," book the consultation anyway. The complimentary financial diagnosis is designed to figure out if we're right for each other. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about your situation and whether Financial Legacy Builders can help.
If you're a fit, we'll move forward. If you're not, I'll tell you that too—and point you toward better options.

Financial planning works best when you're actually prepared to take action. If that's not today, no hard feelings. But when you are ready, we'll be here.
