Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our financial consulting services

How is financial consulting different from accounting services?

While accounting focuses on historical financial reporting and compliance, financial consulting is forward-looking and strategic. Our consulting services use financial data to help you make informed decisions about your financial future, whether for personal wealth-building, retirement planning, or business growth strategies.

Do I need to be wealthy to benefit from financial consulting?

Not at all. Financial consulting is valuable at every income and wealth level. In fact, those still building wealth often benefit most from strategic guidance that helps them maximize resources, avoid costly mistakes, and establish solid financial foundations. Our services are tailored to your specific situation and goals.

How often should I review my financial plan?

We recommend a comprehensive review at least annually, with more frequent check-ins if you experience significant life changes such as marriage, children, job changes, inheritance, or major asset purchases. Regular reviews ensure your financial strategy remains aligned with your evolving goals and circumstances.

Can you help with specific financial issues rather than a full financial plan?

Absolutely. While comprehensive planning provides the most value for many clients, we understand that sometimes you may need guidance on specific issues like investment selection, retirement planning, or business financial decisions. We offer focused consulting services addressing your particular concerns.

How do you charge for financial consulting services?

Our fee structure depends on the scope and complexity of your needs. We offer several options including project-based fees for specific issues, retainer arrangements for ongoing advice, or hourly consulting rates. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss your needs and provide a clear fee quote before proceeding.

How is working with SSS different from other financial consultants?

We take a truly integrated approach by combining financial consulting with tax and accounting expertise. This holistic perspective ensures that your financial strategies are optimized from all angles, including tax implications. Additionally, we focus on education and empowerment, helping you understand the "why" behind our recommendations.
