Hollis, NH – When it comes to getting personal financial advice, savvy New Hampshire consumers now have access to an exciting new alternative. In his February 19, 2003 Wall Street Journal column, noted financial journalist Jonathon Clements said consumers should look for a financial advisor who does not charge commissions (a.k.a. a "fee-only" planner.) Further, he suggests that those who do not want to turn over their assets for management (for an annual fee) should engage the services of an hourly, fee-only planner. But with only 1% of the nation's financial planning firms structured this way, such services are often hard to find. Fortunately, with the recent launch of New Means Financial Planning of Hollis, NH, finding hourly financial planning is no longer a problem in southern New Hampshire.

Sherrill St. Germain, founder and principal of New Means Financial Planning, is the first New Hampshire member of The Garrett Planning Network (GPN), a nationwide network of professional, fee-only financial advisors which has been profiled in Smart Money, Bloomberg Personal Finance, Business Week, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Money, Financial Planning magazine, and numerous other consumer publications. Like other GPN members, Ms. St. Germain is dedicated to providing financial advice on an hourly, as-needed basis. Her firm does not sell products for commissions, nor does it impose account minimums. Clients are free to choose as much or as little help as they need. This flexible, client-focused approach means unbiased, professional financial advice is now available to the middle class, no longer just the wealthy.
