be free from hidden costs – transparency is our underlying policy.

The compensation of a financial planner can directly influence the advice you receive. Brinton Eaton believes that fee-only financial management is the best approach. Our fee-only structure is clear, straightforward and easy to understand — on a client by client basis. Because we don’t sell products, we don’t have divided loyalties — our loyalty is solely to our clients.

  • Client fees are our sole source of income — we do not sell any financial products and we receive no commissions, incentives, research, or any other forms of compensation from anyone.
  • We have no obligatory or proprietary affiliations with any broker/dealers, mutual fund companies or insurance companies.
  • We act totally and only as your advocate. We are unbiased and completely objective in our planning, evaluation and management.
  • We will assist you in making appropriate choices with your employer’s 401(k), 403(b), TSA or other benefits to meet planning needs. There are no additional charges for this advice; it is simply part of our service offering.
  • All our client accounts are established with third-party custodians in your name with separate monthly statements. This enables you to reconcile all your statements, and provides the security and peace of mind you want when working with a boutique firm.All our accounts are established with third-party custodians — in your name — with separate monthly statements.
