Our Approach

A Boutique financial planning firm offering CPA level tax expertise

As a fee only fiduciary CPA CFP® financial planning firm, we have an intensive focus on tax planning and tax efficient investing as taxes play a role in every aspect of financial planning. Accordingly, we place great emphasis on proper tax allocation of investment accounts. Portfolios are managed for optimal tax efficiency to help minimize the corrosive effect taxes can have over time on investment returns.  Furthermore, our portfolios are actively managed in house using individual high quality, mainly dividend paying large cap and mid cap stocks, individual investment grade municipal, government and corporate bonds and low cost ETFs. Portfolios are designed and managed to meet each client's unique goals, preferable tax allocation and risk tolerance. 


We work with high net worth clients to fully understand their unique financial lives in-depth, tailoring comprehensive financial advice to each client, everything from retirement planning to tax planning, investing and legacy planning. Our touchstone approach at Di Bello Financial is to guide clients through every aspect of their financial lives.  Because we are an independent fee only financial planning firm, we never sell financial or insurance products or receive commissions or compensation from any third parties. We have always been and will always be a 100% Fiduciary firm, being fully transparent and always putting our client's best interests ahead of our own. 

Our Investing Philosophy

Our investment philosophy lies in the fundamental principal of Value Investing. Our portfolios are carefully constructed after detailed financial statement analysis with high quality, publicly traded, mainly individual large cap and mid cap dividend paying stocks, investment grade bonds and a variety of ETFs. Creating balanced, quality, low fee and tax efficient portfolios.

Fee Only vs. Fee Based

CPA

100% FIDUCIARY FEE ONLY

We are a 100% fiduciary adhering to the highest standard of a CPA. A fiduciary is someone who is legally and ethically bound to act in your best interest. Fiduciaries do not receive compensation from third parties, all compensation comes directly from clients. Not to be confused with a suitability standard, which is the standard fee-based brokers adhere to. This suitability standard does not require the advisor to put the client's needs first but who's duty of loyalty is to the brokerage firm the advisor works for. Fee based brokers are compensated by third parties on mutual funds, annuities and other commissioned products. 

NO COMMISSIONS

We do not receive any commissions. As a "Fee Only" Independent Registered Investment Advisor firm, all our compensation comes directly from the client. We have no affiliation with any broker, insurance, annuity or fund company. Not to be confused with "Fee Based" who may charge a fee on some accounts and receive commissions from brokers, fund and insurance companies on other accounts. As a fee only advisor, there are no hidden fees, no third-party bonuses or compensation, no sales of any kind of any financial or insurance products. Further, we do not use mutual funds which have inherent hidden internal and non-published fees. Our in-house portfolio construction allows us to be unbiased in selecting investments, thus creating high quality, low fee and fully transparent portfolios.
