Wagener-Lee, LLC

Wagener-Lee, LLC provides individualized financial planning and consultation to individuals and families, addressing topics such as portfolio analysis, retirement planning, tax and estate planning, employee benefits, and insurance. The firm delivers written financial plans following an initial complimentary consultation but does not provide discretionary asset management or participate in wrap‑fee programs.

Advisory representatives are dually registered with a broker/dealer and an SEC‑registered adviser, which allows the firm to both advise and, if clients elect, implement recommendations through broker‑dealer platforms and access third‑party managers; implementation may result in commissions or advisory fees in addition to planning fees. Planning and consultation services are billed on fixed‑fee or hourly bases rather than as a percentage of assets, and ongoing reviews beyond the delivery of the plan are provided only if requested.

Distinctive for a firm of this size, the principals maintain affiliations with a law practice, a real estate brokerage, and separate registered investment adviser entities—relationships the brochure highlights as potential sources of cross‑disciplinary services and conflicts of interest. The brochure also notes that advisory representatives devote a substantial portion of their time to broker‑dealer and affiliated advisory activities, and that the firm does not custody client assets, emphasizing a noncustodial, non‑discretionary planning model.
