Compensation Methods

Fee Only

Fee-only means a CFP® professional may describe his or her practice as "fee-only" if, and only if, all the planner's compensation from all client work comes exclusively from clients in the form of fixed, flat, hourly, percentage, or performance-based fees.

Hourly: Pay a fixed rate only for the time spent on your plan. Great if you have a few specific questions or need occasional advice on a flexible basis.
Project-Based: A one-time flat fee for a specific project—like a single topic or a complete financial plan. Ideal if you just need advice right now without an ongoing commitment.
