Financial Advisors in Great Falls, Virginia (Fairfax County)

Richard Slater, BS, CFP
I am an independent, fee-only investment advisor and manager. I do not accept any commissions nor do I sell any products. This gives me no incentive to make excessive or unnecessary trades that could “eat away” at your returns.
My goal is to work with each client to provide a personalized investment strategy that will change over time. Of course, you must reduce risk as you approach retirement, but there's also an important difference in strategy once you begin drawing from your accounts. The emphasis shifts from earning returns on investments to earning returns from investments.
The best way to explain this further would be to sit down for a consultation. I can look at your current investment strategy and make specific recommendations. Again, because I operate fee-only, this would not be a sales pitch.... See More

Hillebrand Financial Planning, LLC specializes in working with federal government employees, corporate executives, business owners, and technology professionals. Our mission is To Organize Our Clients' Financial and Investment Lives for a future retirement, career, or other family goal. We do this through as-needed financial, retirement & goal planning advice and risk managed investment management.We start with Goal Setting, where we sit down with you for 75 minutes to discuss your long term goals in the areas of retirement, housing, personal finance, estate planning, and college funding. We help you see your finances and investments in terms of what they can do for you. Once we have determined what your goals are for your life, we complete a thorough Financial Assessment to see where you stand against a variety of benchmarks. At this point you are provided with a variety of ways to strengthen your current finances and investments. We then provide detailed recommendations in the form of a Final Plan Review where you can ask detailed questions, and run a variety of What If scenarios live so no stone is left unturned. All clients are offered a follow-up session called a 3 Week Follow-Up after the final plan review to rerun any scenarios and address any unanswered questions.Many clients experience a series of breakthroughs in the areas of cash flow planning, risk management, tax deferral opportunities, and investment options. More importantly, you'll be relieved of the stress and time that your finances and investments can occupy while thinking about the future.Our services are provided on an hourly, fixed fee, or ongoing management basis so that you can receive services in a way that meets your budgetary and timing needs.About Hillebrand Fina...
