Sweetgrass Financial Planning

Sweetgrass Financial Planning was founded in 2017 with the goal of making fee-only planning more accessible to younger professionals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Today, most financial planning firms mainly operate under one of two business models: 1.) Serving high net worth individuals that are approaching retirement, or 2.) Commission-based firms that make the majority of their money from selling clients high commission products; such as loaded mutual funds, various insurance policies, and high fee annuities. The first model is obviously not the most conducive to those that are still in the wealth accumulation phase of life. The second model is rife with conflicts of interest that many times leaves the client wondering if the particular products and services being recommended were made in the best interest of the client or the advisor. SFP was formed in order to provide a third option; where young professionals can receive the proper planning that they need without wondering if their advisor has ulterior motives for the advice being given.
