Fee-Based Financial Planning | Diversified Investment

Smart Financial Guidance Without the High Net Worth Requirement

Financial planning isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. At Diversified Investment Strategies, we believe that professional financial advice should be accessible to those in the growth phase of their careers—people who are building their wealth, not just managing it. That’s why we offer fee-based financial planning through a subscription model, providing experienced guidance without requiring you to meet high asset minimums. Whether you have been planning for years or are just now building a financial plan, Diversified Investment Strategies can help you get started.

Get Started

What is Fee-Based Financial Planning?

Fee-based financial planning is a transparent, conflict-free approach where you pay for advice, not just investment products. Unlike commission-based advisors who earn by selling financial products, a fee-based financial advisor focuses on providing independent, tailored guidance to help you work toward making the most of your income and future wealth.

Our subscription-based model allows you to access fee-based investment advice and strategic financial planning on an ongoing basis—without the pressure of high fees or minimum investment thresholds.

Who is This For?

The short answer is everyone, but specifically, if you’re in your 30s or 40s and wondering how to t your income today into financial security for the future, this service is built for you. You might not have millions in assets yet, but you recognize the value of strategic financial planning.

A fee-based plan provides guidance on:

Budgeting & Cash Flow Optimization
Making the most of your earnings now to support future goals.
Retirement Planning
Whether it’s options for a 401(k), planning for an income stream in retirement, or maximizing employer benefits, we help you work toward structuring a sustainable future.
Investment Strategy
Developing a tax-efficient, diversified approach tailored to your financial stage.
Debt Management
Helping you balance saving, investing, and paying down debt.

Why Choose Subscription-Based Financial Planning?

Affordable and Predictable Fees – Traditional wealth management often requires a significant amount of assets before you can access experienced advice. Our fee-based wealth management model provides affordability with a straightforward pricing structure.
Ongoing Access to a Financial Advisor – Unlike one-time consultations, a subscription plan provides continuous financial guidance as your life and career evolve.
Independent advice – Since our model is built on a transparent fee structure, you get fee-based retirement planning and investment advice that’s focused on your best interests—not on selling financial products. Plus, you get access to LPL products without having to commit to them.

Example Scenario

Meet John, a 38-year-old professional working in project management. He earns a solid income and has started contributing to his company’s 401(k), but he’s unsure about the next steps. Should he increase contributions? Does rolling over his 401(k) into an IRA make sense? How can he invest in a way that provides reliable income in retirement?

With our fee-based financial advisor, John gets ongoing guidance to answer these questions, structure a long-term plan, and confidently navigate his financial future—without worrying about high advisor fees or complex pricing structures. In addition, he gets ongoing support for adjustments to life’s changes like starting a family, having children, and even career changes.
