I’ve spent two decades in an industry that doesn’t always make it easy to know who to trust. Hidden fees, half-answers, and vague promises aren’t good enough. That’s why everything we do is transparent—how we charge, how we plan, how we execute. You should never wonder what’s happening with your money. Our flat fee structure is based on a commitment to placing client interests first, reducing conflicts of interest, providing transparent & predictable pricing, and making financial advisory services more accessible. Financial Review (aka “Try before you buy”) clients and full-service clients will receive a comprehensive financial review & retirement field guide to achieve their retirement field guide to achieve their desired goals. I started Sonas FP to help individuals and families like you understand how a healthy relationship with your money can lead to a lifetime of financial peace, wellness, and freedom. Sonas Financial Planning is owned and operated by Bradley Hilton, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, MBA, and Tax Planning Certified Professional® with over 18 years of experience as the sole financial advisor to more than 110 clients throughout the U.S., including dentists, small business owners, millionaires next door, and top executives at Fortune 500 companies. We’re constantly asking ourselves how we can do more and make a greater impact – and that is part of the reason Sonas Financial Planning was launched. Every good idea starts with a problem. Here was ours: Quality retirement planning and investment management can be expensive for clients under the traditional asset under management (AUM) fee structure. Also, many people fear working with a financial advisor because of either the high fees or the reputation that advisors earn commissions and will sell you products you don’t need. And finally, many wealth management firms do not emphasize financial planning or deliver data-driven financial roadmaps to guide clients. We take a people-centered approach. Our process begins with a free Zoom call so we can get to know one another and learn about your needs. There is no cost and no pressure to move forward. If we are not a good fit for each other, we will let you know upfront and try to recommend an alternative. Schedule a free consultation by calling 404-545-5368 or email [email protected].
