AG Wealth AdvisorsFrequently Asked Questions

FAQ Common
Questions

These are the questions I'm asked most often about how I work, how I'm compensated, and what financial planning with AG Wealth Advisors looks like. If you don't see your question, schedule a complimentary consultation and let's talk it through.

  • No. I work with clients across the U.S. using Zoom, phone, and secure technology. This makes financial planning, tax planning, and retirement planning and rollovers simple and convenient.

  • Yes. I offer a no-cost consultation to review your current situation and identify opportunities around investments, tax planning, and retirement.

  • We focus on your goals, concerns, and overall financial picture. You’ll also get a clear understanding of how I approach financial planning and what next steps look like.

  • I work with individuals, families, retirees, business owners, and professionals. Each client is evaluated based on their goals, complexity, and need for tax planning, retirement planning, or investment guidance.

  • Not exclusively. If you’re serious about improving your financial future and building a plan, it’s worth having a conversation.

  • Yes. I help clients manage RSUs, stock options, and concentrated positions with a focus on tax efficiency and long-term planning.

  • A comprehensive financial plan includes retirement planning, tax planning strategies, investment management, cash flow analysis, and risk management, tailored to your situation.

  • I focus on tax-aware, goal-based financial planning. Investments, taxes, and retirement income are all coordinated to improve your overall outcome.

  • No. Investment management is one piece. I provide full financial planning, including retirement income strategies, tax planning, along with life, disability, and long-term insurance and guidance on employer benefits like RSUs.

  • Investments are selected based on your goals, risk tolerance, and tax situation, not trends. Every recommendation supports your broader financial plan.

  • We live in a complex economic, geopolitical environment. I use diversification, tax efficiency, cost control, and long-term discipline. I don’t chase hot tips or short-term trades.

  • No. I’m independent and product-agnostic, focused solely on what’s best for you.

  • I offer fee-based investment management and flat-fee financial planning. Fees depend on the complexity of your financial, tax, and retirement planning needs.

  • Yes. You’ll always know what you’re paying and what you’re receiving before moving forward.

  • Your accounts are held with LPL Financial, a broker/dealer and investment advisor registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC*). LPL Financial is primarily regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) as well as various other self-regulatory organizations.

  • No. I manage your investments as a fiduciary, but I do not custody your funds. You’ll receive statements directly from the custodian, LPL Financial.

  • At least once a year with a full annual review. Additional meetings are always available as your life or financial situation changes.

  • You’ll have access to a secure portal, regular performance reports, and ongoing communication so you always know where you stand.

  • Yes. I collaborate with CPAs and estate attorneys to align your financial plan. I can also provide referrals if needed.

  • Yes. Tax planning is a core part of the process—identifying strategies around retirement income, Roth conversions, and RSUs to improve long-term results.

  • As a fiduciary with 20+ years of experience across corporate and entrepreneurial environments, I bring a practical, real-world approach to financial planning, tax strategy, and retirement decisions.

  • The sooner, the better. Delaying tax planning or retirement planning can reduce opportunities and increase future costs.

  • Schedule a complimentary consultation and get a second opinion on your financial plan, tax strategy, or investments.

*Registration with the SEC does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. No investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against loss in periods of declining values. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.
