Do you charge client retainers? If so what do you typically charge? I'm considering using the AUM for the Wealth Management side if a client wants/needs more attention and meetings.

I had the son of a client in my office last week and he said he would like to work with someone that charged hourly. He said he wanted to pay someone to look at his stuff, then tell him what to do with in a general sense, then he would go out and pick the investments he wants to use. For those of you who bill on an hourly basis, what does an hour of your time cost? Do you work like an attorney where it's a 15 minute minimum?

I generally work on a flat fee. I will meet with the prospect, and after we go over what they need, I can quote them a pretty solid flat fee. It only changes if the scope changes. I've been doing this enough that I have a pretty good idea what each engagement will entail.However, for divorce work and more complex planning cases, I charge hourly, because it is too hard to pin down exactly what is going to come up. In these cases, I usually take a retainer between $750-$2500, then bill periodically. I only bill by the hour.

I offer either retainer (on the clock) or flat annual fee (billed monthly). I have two clients that use the retainer everyone else does the flat fee.As we recently discussed in another thread, planning is a separate service from asset management so you have to pay for both. The only way I see rolling all comp into an aum fee is if you only use funds and have one or two models but even then you are giving something away for free.

Depends on the work. But for Financial Planning, $300 per hour, billed in 6 minute (1/10th of an hour) increments.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice
