Free Initial Consultation
 Roger R. Bell & Company has an in-depth process to ensure that the financial solutions are tailored to the your specific needs and objectives:
Free Initial Consultation
The purpose of this free 30 - 45 minute initial consultation is to learn your personal goals, concerns, and objectives, then determine whether we can help you achieve these. In addition to reviewing with you our planning and investment advisory process and fee structure, we will answer any questions you may have. Where appropriate, you may be requested to complete a confidential preliminary questionnaire and return it to us via email, fax, or regular mail prior to your complimentary consultation.
At the conclusion of this meeting, if we agree there is a mutual fit, we will arrange your first planning conference where we will develop a keen understanding of your specific concerns and goals and complete a planning agreement. Where appropriate and prior to this planning conference, you will be requested to provide us on a confidential basis, certain documents and related financial information . Contact Us for your free initial consultation.
First Planning Conference
During this 90 minute planning conference, we will specifically review your stated financial concerns, determine with you a specific course and duration of actions required to address these, and provide a written planning agreement and fee that is specifically designed for your given situation. The billing and payment of your advisory fee will be based upon the scope and type of advisory services you need. And, our fee is pre-agreed upon prior to any advisory services being provided. You will also be given additional documents such as our Form ADV, our privacy policy and code of ethics.
Successive Client Conferences
Depending upon the depth and scope of your defined concerns as stated in your planning agreement, we will schedule additional planning conferences as needed to ensure that we have addressed fully, the entirety of your concerns. Where appropriate, you will be provided both verbally and in writing, specific courses of action required to address and/or resolve your stated concerns. Depending upon your defined concerns, we will collect and examine extensive information on your investments, retirement assets, any business interests, liabilities, taxes, insurance plans, estate plans and so on.
Implementation
Without effecting the recommended solutions required to address and resolve your stated concerns, our collective efforts will have been in vain. Too often we find clients are either too busy with the challenges of life or unfamiliar with the process of implementing the wide range of changes to their financial and investment plans. Therefore, depending upon the financial services you require, we will assist and guide you through this implementation process to ensure that the recommended solutions are in place. Throughout the planning process, your money remains under your complete control at all times.
Account Monitoring
To ensure that you progress successfully towards achievement of your financial goals and the life that you desire, you may retain our advisory services on an ongoing basis.
We would generally meet with you as needed or every 3 to 4 months to address the various changes that occur in one’s life and which could impact your overall financial well being.
Changes which can radically affect one’s financial and investment goals include a sudden career transition, disability, a retirement, purchase of a residence, receipt of inheritance, the division of marital assets due to a divorce, death, or unusual market complications. After due consideration is given, we will guide you in effecting the appropriate solutions that are needed to move forward in the successful achievement of your financial goals and investment strategy.
Communication
We will communicate with you in several ways: periodic phone calls, face-to-face meetings, written correspondence and via e-mail, if you so desire. When needed, we will schedule on an emergency basis, evening conferences in our office or at your residence. And, we will be available to answer your questions and to address on a timely basis, any concerns you may have regarding your financial planning and investment needs. This is only one of the advantages of working with a small, client-focused firm.
Our Fees
Client fees are our primary source of revenue. We have no asset requirements nor do we transfer your funds to our control. The hourly-, project-, retainer-, or flat fee will depend upon the complexity of the analysis and the amount of time involved in planning conferences with you or by phone, researching and analyzing your current situation, and in providing you specific recommendations and/or implementation assistance. Please note that the fee for providing financial guidance will vary from client to client and will be based on your specific needs. An estimate of the fee will be provided you at the end of the complimentary consultation and in writing upon the engagement of our firm.
