Financial Planning Solutions
Clear pricing for advice only financial planning
At A Small Investment, you pay for financial advice, planning, and guidance, not commissions, product sales, or assets under management.
Led by André Small, CFP®, MBA, we serve clients in Northeast Houston, and virtually across the United States.
Pricing for this stage of wealth
This pricing is designed to address your current financial needs as your financial situation has evolved. At this point you may be familiar with financial advice in the traditional sense and want to approach your finances from an unbiased second opinion prospective.
With a clear financial plan, or help thinking through overlooked decisions. This pricing is a strong fit for people pursuing financial independence, work optional life, retirement readiness, or simply more confidence in the plan they already have.
How pricing works
We use a flat-fee model so you know the cost up front. That means no AUM fees, no commissions, and no pressure to move assets.
Our goal is to make financial advice feel simple, transparent, and aligned with your best interests.
