re: Reputable fee only financial planners Baton Rouge

Typically a CFP will charge you a "set fee" to put together a financial plan for you. Then on top of that will typically charge a "%fee" if your assets that he will manage.

However, if you meet one that will do only a financial plan for you and direct you how to manage your own assets at vanguard or such then yes it's only a 1 time fee. But usually, the cfp will manage your assets for you as mentioned.
