Our Fees
Dalton FP charges a fixed fee* for our services which covers all interactions, advice, strategy, meetings, documentation, and implementation during the service period. This fee is based on factors such as the complexity of your situation, the areas of advice and the expertise required. Our typical service engagement is 12 months, but we may offer shorter engagements for clients with simpler situations that do not require ongoing advice. Fees are normally collected via a combination of upfront payment and monthly direct debit. The proportion of fees allocated to superannuation advice can be charged to your super fund in most cases.
*In regard to life & disability insurance strategies, our preference is to charge you a combination of a fixed fee (included in your annual fee) and product commissions to cover the cost of this advice and implementation. However, clients can elect to have commissions removed and pay a higher fixed fee instead.
