 FAQs

  • Yes. TARA Wealth is a fiduciary, which means we are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest at all times. Our advice is objective, transparent, and aligned with your goals.

  • For clients with over $1 million in assets under management, we charge a flat annual fee of $10,000 for individuals and $12,000 for couples on the first $1 million. This fee covers everything—comprehensive financial planning and investment management.

    For assets above $1 million, we apply a percentage-based fee based on total household assets:

    • $1M Individual: $10,000 flat annual fee

    • $1M Household (Couple): $12,000 flat annual fee

    • $1M–$2M: 0.75%

    • $2M–$5M: 0.65%

    • $5M–$10M: 0.30%

    • $10M+: Negotiable

    This is a blended annual fee charged monthly, with no product sales, commissions, or hidden costs—just clear, fiduciary advice.

  • We’re independent, boutique, and deeply personal. You won’t be handed off to a junior team member or sold a prepackaged product. Instead, you’ll work directly with experienced fiduciary advisors who build your plan from the ground up with your full financial picture in mind.

  • Yes! While our Total Wealth Management service is designed for clients with $1 million or more in assets, we also work with high-income individuals who are still building wealth.

    Many of these clients—often doctors, business owners, or professionals earning $250K+—are sometimes called HENRYs (High Earners, Not Rich Yet). For them, we offer financial planning as a standalone service, with the option to add investment management when it makes sense.

  • Yes! While our co-founders are based in San Diego, CA and Durham, NC, we serve clients across the country. As a virtual financial planning firm, we work with clients nationwide through secure, convenient online meetings.

    Many of our clients appreciate the flexibility—no commute, no office visits—just personalized advice from the comfort of home.
