Financial Planning and Longer-Term Wealth Management Expertise

While CBM’s financial planning clients typically engage the firm over a shorter period of time (sometimes even a single session), some clients may prefer longer-term wealth management services that deliver a comprehensive approaching including financial planning, tax planning and investment advisory experience. CBM’s affiliated entity, May Barnhard Investments, LLC, is an independent, fee-only wealth management advisory firm. MBI professionals are registered as investment advisors with the Securities & Exchange Commission.

Our professionals believe the fee-only method of compensation is the most transparent and objective method for clients. The model obligates your financial planner to act as a fiduciary. Fee-only planners are compensated directly by their clients for advice, plan implementation and for the ongoing management of assets. All members of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors are required to work only within the fee-only structure.

Compliance documents including Form ADV Part 2A and the Customer Relationship Summary describing the work of the firm’s investment advisors are available for Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell and May Barnhard Investments.
