Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between your Hourly Consulting services versus Asset Management services?

We offer two distinct service models based on whether you prefer to manage your investments yourself or have our team handle everything for you:

Service Option 1: Hourly Financial Planning (DIY Approach)
- How It Works: Designed for self-directed investors who want expert guidance but prefer a DIY approach to running their accounts. We provide a customized financial plan and tailored advice, but you handle all implementation—including executing trades, rebalancing portfolios, and account maintenance.
- Cost: $5,000 initial retainer (covers ~12.5 hours at $400/hour), billed monthly once depleted. Unused funds roll over or can be refunded if you transition to asset management.
Service Option 2: Asset Management (Comprehensive & Hands-Off)
- How It Works: Our all-inclusive service where we take care of everything. We bundle full financial planning (retirement, tax strategies, estate planning, etc.) with complete investment management. We handle all the heavy lifting—executing your plan, making trades, rebalancing your portfolio, coordination with your CPA and attorneys, tax planning, and managing your accounts day-to-day.
- Cost: Tiered fee based on managed assets, billed quarterly from your accounts:
  - 1.30% on assets under $1M (e.g., $200,000 managed = $2,600/year or $650/quarter)
  - 0.95% on assets $1M and above.

For a full breakdown of our business profile and fee structures, please view our Firm Brochure (Form ADV Part 2).

If we hire you as an hourly consultant instead of management (AUM), how often do we meet to update my financial plan?

Because hourly engagements are project-based, meetings happen as needed rather than on a fixed schedule. Generally, updates occur in two situations:

Periodic Reviews: Most hourly clients check in every 1.5 to 2 years to review their progress and adjust their strategy.
Major Life Events: You should reach out whenever you experience significant life changes, such as a job change or raise, marriage or a new child, buying or selling property, or receiving an inheritance.

What deliverables or reports will I receive?

You will get 3 tailored, personalized deliverables. It includes your net worth statement, cash flow plan, financial plan executive summary that includes all the analysis, action items checklist.

Helen at CBP gave me an excellent and detailed review of my overall financial picture. She included voluminous information and analysis of all my investments and provided very helpful projections of my IRA RMDs. Helen is very responsive and is sensitive to my needs as an investor. Lastly, I appreciate that CPB offers fee-only services in a financial advisor landscape where that is becoming harder to find. I look forward to continue to utilize Helen and CBP in the future.

My wife and I have used Capital Benchmark Partners for over five years. I feel comfortable in doing my own investing, but I have had Helen do a financial plan and then an update as I approached retirement. I am thoroughly pleased with our plan and services. This firm has done exactly what I needed and wanted. They will tailor their services to what you request. This firm meets the highest definition of a fiduciary, and I would highly recommend Capital Benchmark Partners.
