Our Fees
Dalton FP operates on a fixed-fee* basis, covering all aspects of our service, including consultations, advice, strategy development, meetings, documentation, and implementation. This fee is determined by the complexity of your financial situation, the scope of advice needed, and the level of expertise required.
Our standard service engagement lasts 12 months, though shorter engagements may be available for clients with simpler needs that don’t require ongoing advice. Fees are typically collected through a combination of upfront payment and monthly direct debit. In most cases, the portion of fees related to superannuation advice can be charged directly to your super fund.
*For life and disability insurance strategies, we typically charge a combination of a fixed fee (included in your annual fee) and product commissions to cover the cost of advice and implementation. However, clients have the option to remove commissions and instead pay a higher fixed fee if preferred.
