Our Costs

Our goal is to provide complete cost transparency.

I believe that comprehensive financial planning is about one-on-one relationships, where you truly connect with your advisor and are comfortable putting the ball in their hands. I want my clients to understand what their financial planning services will cost and how we price our services at Gary Alpert Financial Strategies. This policy allows you the freedom to select the services and investment tools best suited to your situation.

For more information on our services and costs, please call (770) 353-6357.
