B. Description of the Types of Advisory Services We Offer. Comprehensive Portfolio Management: Our Comprehensive Portfolio Management service encompasses asset management as well as the option of financial planning/financial consulting to clients. It is designed to assist clients in meeting their financial goals through the use of financial investments. We conduct at least one, but sometimes more than one meeting (in person if possible, otherwise via telephone or web video conference) with clients in order to understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and tolerance for risk. Based on what we learn, we propose an investment approach to the client. We may propose an investment portfolio, consisting of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, individual stocks or bonds, or other securities. Upon the client’s agreement to the proposed investment plan, we work with the client to establish or transfer investment accounts so that we can manage the client’s portfolio. Once the relevant accounts are under our management, we review such accounts on a regular basis and at least quarterly. We may periodically rebalance or adjust client accounts under our management. If the client experiences any significant changes to his/her financial or personal circumstances, the client must notify us so that we can consider such information in managing the client’s investments. We may utilize Independent Money Managers, where we design an investment portfolio on a fee- only basis for a percentage of assets in conjunction with another investment advisory firm. The selection of other advisers may be done on a discretionary basis pursuant to the terms of the executed investment advisory client agreement with our firm. Before selecting other advisers, we make sure that the other advisers are properly licensed or registered. When a client has authorized our firm to select other advisers on a discretionary basis, we shall have the authority to select and terminate them without the client’s specific approval. A copy of the Independent Money Manager’s disclosure brochure will be provided to the client. The terms and conditions under which the client shall engage the Independent Managers shall generally be set forth in the agreement between the client and our firm or a separate written agreement between the client and the designated Independent Managers. Clients may terminate these contracts at any time upon written notice.

Our Good Advice Automated Wealth Management service encompasses asset management and financial planning/financial consulting. It is designed to assist clients in meeting their financial goals through the use of financial investments. Clients subscribing to the Good Advice Automated Wealth Management service authorize our firm to implement our proprietary portfolio models. As part of the Good Advice Automated Wealth Management service, clients complete an online personal risk tolerance assessment and provide additional information about their financial goals. Based on the information provided, the appropriate model portfolio is selected for the client. We generally create diversified model portfolios of investments consisting of low cost exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, and other similar equity-related index funds, stocks, or investment products tailored to the client’s specific needs. Information about the client’s model portfolio is available on the online Platform, which includes their investment style, objectives, and a list of ETFs and other investments with shares that are included in and traded through them. The client can also edit their risk profile or complete a new risk questionnaire directly through the online Platform. The Platform also aims to help lower taxes through active tax-loss harvesting. When securities decline in value, clients can get what amounts to a small rebate by selling the security and buying a substitute, then using these losses to offset gains from elsewhere in the portfolio. If they don’t have any gains to offset today, these losses can be banked for use at a future date.

Retirement Plan Consulting: Our firm provides retirement plan consulting services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis. Generally, such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan.

Implementation of the recommendations will be at the client’s discretion. College Financial Planning is a process that helps parents and students understand how to pay for college and make the most optimal college decisions. College is a big purchase decision, and it is one where planning and preparation can help. We will advise you about your options to fund education for your children or grandchildren. We will help you determine the funds needed and advise on ways that may improve your ability to obtain merit- and needs-based aid through various tax, income and asset strategies. Our College Financial Planning service includes a College Cost Analyzer solution, predominantly for late-stage college planning (high school years), that provides the average costs of attendance, average GPA, minimum standardized test scores and acceptance rates for desired college applications. Our services will compare the best college value matched with potential merit- based opportunities, required funding and contributions and loan options for financial planning and college selection purposes. We will also analyze and recommend strategies to improve affordability and funding outlook. Working with your financial advisor we can also help by projecting the amount that will be needed to achieve college or other post‐secondary education funding goals, along with advice on ways for you to save the desired amount including, but not limited to, cash flow strategies, education tax planning, financial aid optimization, family gifting, and school selection.
