For an annual fee, the
Full-Service Financial Counseling Program offers up to six hours per year of toll-free phone or virtual consultations with a Stacey Braun Associates Certified Financial Planner.® Consultations address your various financial questions and situations.
Calls can be made weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (EST). If a planner or advisor is not available when you call, you can schedule a phone or virtual consultation at a time convenient for you; appointments can be made before or after normal toll-free hours.
