For qualifying individuals, our Retirement Clarity Review is a paid, fixed-fee planning engagement designed to provide focused, high-level insight into key retirement planning considerations.

Topics may include:

  • Your Retirement Paycheck – high-level retirement income considerations
  • Tax Planning Considerations – general tax-aware strategies and tradeoffs
  • Legacy & Estate Planning Coordination – high-level planning considerations

Your Top Questions, Answered

How do you meet with clients? In-person? Virtual? Other states? 

We do both. Post-COVID, most of our meetings are still via Zoom, but we meet in person most often in our Edina, MN office. We do request that you provide at least 3-4 business days’ notice for in-person meetings. In most cases, we can work with clients from any state.  

Is there a separate fee for financial planning and investment management? 

No. For assets under management or AUM clients, financial planning and investment management are included in the AUM fee. For subscription clients, financial planning and investment guidance are included in the subscription fee. Separate fees may apply to third-party asset management or held-away investment management.  

Is there an additional fee for the initial financial plan?  

After the Free Retirement Review, your financial plan is completed once you become a Sona client. There is no additional fee for your financial plan for asset under management (AUM) clients. For subscription clients, there could be a one-time fee of up to $1,500 for more complex clients. Additional fees for third-party asset management and held-away assets may apply. 

When do you meet with clients? 

Mondays are reserved for client prep, so we do a lot of analysis! Client meetings take place Tuesday-Thursday from 9am-6pm Central Time, and Friday mornings. Friday afternoons, we set aside for pro bono work and client prep.
