All fees are exactly as disclosed in our Form ADV.
Monthly Fees:
Initial Planning Fee (all plans): $750–$2,000
Your exact fee is based on your financial complexity and planning needs, and is always provided in writing before you engage with us.
Legacy planning often includes business exit strategy, multi-entity structures, estate planning, coordination across advisors, and support during major transitions. Some engagements are straightforward—others require deep, technical, multi-year planning.

We provide tax planning, tax-aware investment guidance, and coordination with your tax preparer (if not handled by Rose Group CPAs).
We’ll help you decide during your introductory call.
Your plan level is based on complexity—not assets. We match support level to your planning needs and goals.
