FinancialCop Financial Planning Services

Unlike some financial advisors that only put your best interest ahead of theirs “some” of the time. We always put your best interest ahead of ours, operating off of the fiduciary standard 100% of the time, and are 100% transparent about fees and compensation!  

A big difference:

  • Registered investment advisors (RIAs) must adhere to the fiduciary standard and do what’s in your best interest. We operate only under this standard.
  • All other, non-fiduciary financial professionals, do not operate on a fiduciary  standard, operating under a lower suitability standard.
  • Most financial advisors are dual registered, meaning they wear two hats and can operate with fiduciary or best-interest structure, and sometimes both.

 

We are owned and operated by current and retired police officers with many years of experience helping our fellow brothers and sisters.  FinancialCop is an independent firm which means we are not limited to any proprietary products, services, or sales quotas. We believe this allows us to focus on finding the best solutions that are tailored to your specific financial circumstances.
