Your membership pays for itself

The majority of our members see that the service pays for itself year after year when they take advantage of everything that our membership offers, including investment management at no additional cost.*

This brave claim requires a disclosure

Disclosure: Based on a study conducted by Facet in April 2023.  A statistically valid sample of members following Facet’s current planning process demonstrated that more than half of these members, defined here as a majority,  achieved value greater than their planning fee.  This value was shown to reoccur on an annual basis.  Assumptions included average expenses and fees, using retirement tax savings, portfolio expenses and tax loss harvesting as value drivers using Facet’s investment services, and discounting value to align with the acceptance of Facet recommendations.  Facet assesses clients an annual flat fee for service based on the complexity of planning needs.  There is no separate or additional fee for investment management. This is not a guarantee or prediction of actual results for any member and results may vary by member.  Some value like tax loss harvesting may vary year to year.

Frequently asked questions.

In an industry saturated with fees, confusing jargon, and cookie-cutter solutions, Facet exists to make financial planning affordable, accessible, and personalized.

Affordable: With our flat-fee membership options and commission-free approach to investing, we’re helping you keep money in your pocket so you can spend it on the things that matter most to you. 

Accessible: Financial planning can be complicated enough as it is, without all the fancy jargon and hard-to-understand processes. With knowledgeable, unbiased CFP® professionals, intuitive technology and ongoing support, we’re making financial planning simple. (As it should be.)

Personalized: There is no one-size-fits-all approach to planning because there is no such thing as a “standard client.” We take the time to understand our members’ individual needs, dreams and priorities to develop plans that help them achieve success by their unique definition of the word.

Once you choose and purchase a Facet membership, the financial planning process begins with a virtual meeting with a CFP® professional. They will get to know you, your situation and your goals to create a personalized plan and set you up for success (whatever that looks like to you.)

Financial planning is about setting goals, analyzing your current finances and creating strategies to achieve those goals. When you work with a financial planner, these strategies can include cash flow, debt, and investment management, as well as retirement, insurance, education, equity, and estate planning (and the list goes on.) Most importantly, financial planning with Facet is personal, making sure every goal and strategy is aligned with our members’ unique values and priorities.

The only service available a la carte is estate planning. The price of this service is $2000 for the first year and $300 annually every year after.

While you may feel confident handling financial tasks independently, a financial planner offers expertise, objectivity, and comprehensive planning that go beyond task completion. Our CFP® professionals provide tailored advice, save you time, manage risks, and adapt your plan to changing circumstances, ensuring your long-term financial wellness and peace of mind.
A fiduciary holds a legal and ethical relationship of trust with the person whom they’re serving. Therefore, a fiduciary is legally obligated to only make recommendations in the best interest of each person they are giving advice to. All of the CFP® professionals at Facet are fiduciaries on behalf of our members.

All of Facet’s memberships are annual and non-refundable. If you choose to cancel your membership, you will be responsible for any outstanding balance, and will retain access to your planner and services for the remainder of the term.

You and your spouse or partner can use the same membership.

There’s no additional cost for investment management, it’s included as part of your membership. While we don’t charge additional fees for managing your accounts, our custodians may charge fees that will be deducted from your account. You can view a full list of potential custodial costs here.

We’re able to include investment management as part of your membership without charging additional fees because we believe in a transparent and member-centric approach to financial planning. While other investors raise fees when your portfolio grows (even if it is just because the market as a whole has gone up), we believe when you earn more, you should keep more.1 To us, managing a $100,000 portfolio isn’t much different than managing a $1,000,000 portfolio—so why would we make our members pay more? By structuring our services this way, we prioritize your financial well-being over transaction-based fees.

“[The Facet service] was like tenfold my expectations in terms of what I got. I’ve just been so overjoyed with having what I would describe as a partnership with Facet to run the business of life. I’m never looking back.”
