Financial advice should come to you, not the other way around. Whether you are commuting on I-85 or settling into retirement in Duluth, we make meeting simple.
Our Strategic Portfolio Review includes an in-person meeting option: a private meeting room near Duluth (like 3235 Satellite Boulevard), your home, video call, phone, or email. We will work with you to choose the format that fits your schedule. Initial consultations are free.
We book private meeting rooms through professional office networks, including Regus, LiquidSpace, and Tagvenue. This means we can secure a quiet, professional space near Duluth without maintaining a permanent office. The result is lower overhead, which translates directly into lower fees for clients.
This model works well for busy professionals at AGCO Corporation or Primerica, educators at Duluth High School, and families who value both efficiency and discretion.

Local Expertise
Fiduciary guidance available for Gwinnett County families
Many Duluth households we work with are weighing coordinating corporate stock plans with 401(k) contributions, often while balancing demanding careers at employers like AGCO Corporation or Primerica. The areas below are where fee-only, conflict-free advice tends to matter most for Gwinnett County families.
Fiduciary-Standard Reviews
Comprehensive portfolio analysis with no commissions and no product sales, just independent, conflict-free advice from a registered fiduciary. Our Strategic Portfolio Review includes 401(k) analysis, expense ratio optimization, and a written Investment Policy Statement.
Retirement Income Planning
Lifetime spending analysis (running 500 Monte Carlo simulations via MaxiFi Planner to test your fixed and discretionary costs), combined with tax-efficient withdrawal sequencing designed to help extend the longevity of your savings. Monte Carlo simulations model a range of possible outcomes; actual results may differ from projections.
Commission-Free Bond Buying
Most brokers mark up bond prices. We help you buy direct or use low-cost funds, keeping that yield in your pocket. Our Georgia municipal bond strategies seek to improve tax-efficient income in retirement.
Tax-Smart Account Strategies
Roth conversion analysis, 401(k) rollover guidance, and IRMAA planning designed to help reduce lifetime taxes.
Focused Portfolio Review
Want a professional second opinion on your current portfolio? Our Focused Portfolio Review ($300) provides in-depth feedback on what you own today: analyzing expense ratios, identifying overlap and redundancy, and assessing your asset allocation and risk exposure.
Well-suited for Gwinnett County professionals who want fiduciary guidance without a comprehensive review.

A median home value near $420,000 affects property taxes, downsizing decisions, and how much home equity factors into your plan. We help Gwinnett County households weigh those trade-offs alongside their retirement income needs.
Most engagements start with a free initial consultation, then move to either a flat-fee Strategic Portfolio Review or hourly consulting. We often begin with coordinating corporate stock plans with 401(k) contributions, then broaden to retirement income, taxes, and portfolio review. There are no commissions and no asset minimums.

The Math: Flat Fee vs. Percentage of Assets
The typical financial advisor charges 0.90% of assets under management (AUM) annually. On a $1.5 million portfolio, that fee is $13,500 every year, regardless of the work performed, and that number grows as your portfolio appreciates.
Foxholm Financial charges a flat $900 for a comprehensive Strategic Portfolio Review. You receive the same deliverables: a written Investment Policy Statement, portfolio analysis, expense ratio audit, and contribution strategy. The difference is structural: our fee reflects the actual work performed, not a perpetual percentage of your wealth. An advice-only model does not include ongoing portfolio management, trade execution, or custodial services, so the comparison depends on the level of service required.
| Fee Model | Year 1 | Year 5 |
|---|---|---|
| 0.90% AUM ($1.5M portfolio) | $13,500 | $67,500 |
| Foxholm Financial (flat fee) | $900 | $4,500 |
AUM estimate assumes a static $1.5M portfolio with no growth. Actual AUM fees increase as portfolio value appreciates. Foxholm Financial estimate assumes one Strategic Portfolio Review per year. An advice-only model does not include ongoing portfolio management, trade execution, or custodial services. Clients who need continuous management may benefit from an AUM relationship. The right model depends on the level of service required.

Property Tax Calculation: Georgia assesses property at 40% of fair market value. Estimated annual tax = Median Home Value × 40% × (Millage Rate ÷ 1,000). For Duluth: $420,000 × 0.40 × (35.00 ÷ 1,000) = ~$5,880/year.
