Corporation Fees

We believe in being transparent about how we get paid. Below are the various ways clients can compensate us for our services:

Retirement Plans

Fee Comparison for 401(k), 403(b), 457, & Profit-Sharing Plans

We prefer to be compensated on a fixed per-participant fee basis for our consulting services, so your fees do not increase as the plan assets increase.

Below are some examples of the fees 401(k) plans incur by paying an asset-based or wrap fee compared to a fixed per-participant fee.

Business Succession Planning

If we take on a client to help them buy or sell a company, we want to make sure that it makes financial sense for them. In other words, we want the money you could potentially save from our recommendations to easily cover our fees so that essentially, we pay for ourselves.

What are the fees based on?

  1. The anticipated time it will take to complete all of the services outlined.
  2. The complexity of the situation, family dynamics, etc.

Payment Structure

  • 65% due with signed service agreement 
  • 35% will be due at the completion of the 'Formulate a Plan' stage

Asset Management

Brokerage Account

  • These assets don't need to be actively managed, just looked after from time to time, so we don't feel the need to charge an advisory fee on these assets.
  • The assets we typically don't charge an advisory fee on are:
    • Money Market 
    • CDs
    • Concentrated stock positions

Actively Managed Account

  • No commissions are charged.
  • Annual fee charged as a percentage of the account balance. The fee is determined by the amount of total household advisory assets that we manage for the company.
  • Blended Fee rate

*PPS Custom Program (Platform) Account client will pay an annual management fee, as outlined in the blended fee schedule above.

*In addition to the annual management fee, PPS Custom Program clients may pay platform fees, administrative charges, and miscellaneous account fees and charges, as described in the Master Services Agreement (MSA) or PPS Client Agreement (as applicable) and Commonwealth’s ADV Part 2A Brochure.
