What makes 21 Goats Financial Planning a good fit for me?
21 Goats Financial Planning is a spunky, wholehearted team of financial advisors who believe in kindness, compassion, and long-term thinking. We help professionals and families balance goal setting, big financial decisions, and retirement planning with everything that comes in between. If you’re looking for a long-term planning partner to help you find your balance, we may be the right fit.
Do I have to live in the Atlanta area to work with you?
We hang our hats in Roswell and Dunwoody offices, Georgia, but geography doesn’t prevent us from developing successful client-advisor relationships. Today’s virtual world enables us to connect with you no matter where you live.
Do I need a certain amount of money to invest to work with you?
Instead of having an account minimum requirement, we like to handle every situation on a case-by-case basis. We can work with clients in several ways. Check out our Services & Fees page for more specifics. Our recommendation is for you to set up an introductory Zoom or phone call with us to discuss your specific needs
Do you charge for an initial consultation?
Your first meeting with us is always complimentary. We believe that client advisor relationships should start with establishing trust through open communication. We want to understand where you have been, where you are now and where it is that you would like to go. This initial conversation allows us to decide, together, if we are a mutual fit for a dedicated planning partnership.
What is your investment policy?
We know that the best plan is one that was designed with you in mind. We believe in being smart with your money by making considerations for costs and tax efficiency. Your investment plan will be tailored to your specific objectives and risk preferences. We will educate you to whatever extent is necessary for you to be confident that the plan is right for you and that you can stick to it for the long term.
What is a fiduciary?
Being a fiduciary means that as financial advisors, we have a legal obligation to act in an honest and trustworthy manner by putting our clients’ best interests first. At 21 Goats Financial Planning, we take this standard of care to heart – we understand our recommendations and guidance have the power to shape your financial future.
Why is it important to work with an advisor with certifications?
Not all financial advisors are the same. In our industry there can be a significant difference between competency, motivation, and specialization from one advisor to the next. What separates Alyson and Brian from other advisors is the education and certifications they have spent years satisfying. Also, they are committed to know when they need to access the depth of knowledge provided by their partners at Integrated Financial Group, LPL Financial and in their community. When choosing a financial planner, you should feel confident that they are qualified to offer the expertise and service you deserve. Learn more about the 21 Goats Team here.
What does it cost to work with you?
There are two methods to how we are compensated for our services. The first is a standard cost schedule based on your invested assets with us. The second is an “advice-only” offering that does not require an investment relationship. We take pride in the fact that our costs are straightforward and fully disclosed. Check out our Services & Fees page for more information.
Why should I pay an advisor? Can’t I do it myself?
Properly managing your investments and making the right financial decisions takes time, skill, and effort. Deciding whether you find value in working with a fee-based advisor depends on how important you consider these decisions for your future and if you feel qualified to make them yourself. We have decades of experience providing comprehensive financial planning, estate planning, asset, and investment management services to people just like you. Schedule some time to discuss your concerns with us – we’re here to help.
How do you keep my money and personal information safe?
Your privacy is our top concern. When you work with us, you can be confident that we treat your personal information as if it were our own. Beyond partnering with our broker-dealer, LPL Financial, to ensure we are going above and beyond in protecting your information, our team is vigilant in utilizing leading-edge anti-virus software, file encryption, and participate in ongoing cybersecurity education and awareness.
