Our Value
We can define our value in one word. TRUST. A term that is too often misused in the financial industry. Our most proud achievement is our client retention rates. Our clients trust us. Our business is not muddied with conflicts of interest, hidden fees, and shady deals. We earn our money, when our clients earn their happiness. As a fee-only advisor, we earn a percentage of our clients assets, so if our clients are losing money, we lose money and if our clients leave, we lose even more money. Our vested interest is to make sure that our clients are more than satisfied with our services. See fee schedule

Our Advisory Approach
Peak Financial Management's approach to managing money is distinguished in several ways. First, our firm's primary focus is financial planning. From our experience, one of the big mistakes that people make in managing their assets is to neglect the large gains that come from sound retirement and tax planning. The few extra percentage points that you can earn on a good investment may be of little help if you have not done adequate planning for your retirement. A key part of what Peak Financial Management, Inc. offers is the dedicated focus we have and the network of relationships we have developed with professionals in the legal, tax, and other areas which allows us to offer our clients a totally comprehensive approach to financial services. For that reason, we feel that we have more to offer each client that just investment advice.
Fees-Only Advising Structure
We do not work for a bank, a brokerage house, or an insurance company. Therefore we are indebted to no institution or company. Our only interest is you-our client-and how we can help you achieve financial success. At Peak Financial Management, our compensation is derived from two sources. It comes either from an hourly or a flat fee charged for developing a financial plan, or from an investment management fee, which is based on a percentage of assets managed. These fees are fully and completely disclosed up front and early in the process, with no hidden fees, loads, or charges. Our intrinsic philosophy is based on a simple premise that we sit on the same side of the table as you, our client, without any conflict of interest. This same principle, although espoused by many, is practiced by few. Our compensation policies are designed with this principle in mind. Fee only advice simply means our financial success is tied to your overall financial success. The better you do, the better we do!
