Frequently asked questions
Aglaos is a flat-fee financial planning and education service built to help individuals make smart, confident money decisions. We guide you through budgeting, debt, retirement, taxes, and long-term planning; with clear education on how to approach investing and the tools to make informed choices. You pay a transparent flat fee, either one-time or ongoing, for financial planning.
In addition, Aglaos offers custom stock and fund analysis as a separate service. Whether or not you choose financial planning, you can request a one-time or recurring educational report on a company or fund whenever you want deeper insights.
As a member, you’re getting more than a financial plan; you’re gaining access to an ecosystem built for modern financial growth.
Every membership includes:
Personalized financial planning sessions based on your life goals, not cookie-cutter templates

Quarterly progress reviews (for Gold and Diamond members) to keep you accountable and on track

We’re not here to sell you products. We’re not here to impress you with jargon. And we’re definitely not here to make you feel behind or ashamed.
Unlike traditional financial advisors, we don’t charge commissions, take control of your money, or lock you into long-term contracts. All your progress is yours. We simply give you the clarity, tools, and education to make confident decisions.
Unlike self-help finance books or podcasts, we don’t just give you theory. We provide step-by-step planning and ongoing support in plain English.
Those resources, as good as they may be, can’t speak directly to your life. They are one-size-fits-all. Your life isn’t. You deserve guidance that fits your unique challenges, values, and goals. That’s what we do.
Aglaos is built for people like you, young or older, motivated, maybe overwhelmed, but ready to take control. We meet you where you are, offer flat-fee access to planning, provide investment education if you want it, and deliver custom analysis when you need deeper insights.
No intimidation. No fluff. Just real, judgment-free help.
We’re here to help you build real, long-term financial stability; not chase hype, tips, or get-rich-quick plays.
So, while we’re all about strategy, education, and clarity, here’s what we don’t do:
❌ We don’t advise on day trading, crypto speculation, or short-term bets
❌ We don’t guarantee returns or predict the market; anyone who promises you that is always lying to you
❌ We don’t manage your investments for you
❌ We don’t create “one-size-fits-all” financial plans, because you deserve better
❌ We don’t replace legal, insurance, or tax professionals (but we’ll help you understand what they do)
If you're looking for someone to tell you when to buy or sell a stock, or someone who promises to make you rich quickly, this probably isn’t the right fit.
But if you want help building a smart, sustainable financial life, we’re all in.
It’s simple and built around your comfort.
You reach out. Just send us a message. Ask questions, tell us a bit about your situation, or just feel things out.
We connect. If you’re interested, we’ll schedule a free consultation. This is where you tell us where you're at, what you want help with, your goals, timeline, and anything else you feel like sharing.
You decide. If it feels like a fit, we move forward. You’ll sign a client agreement (required by law, but not a contract that locks you in). You’ll also get your legal documents: our brochure, code of ethics, and clear info on your rights.
We get to work. From there, we help you with any area you need: budgeting, investing education, debt, taxes, goals, all of it. You’ll have a clear plan, support, and a real person by your side.
You stay in control. At any point, you can upgrade, downgrade, pause, or cancel your plan, no penalties, no fine print. We’ll adjust to whatever you need.
We’re here to help people move forward honestly, legally, and with purpose. If that’s your mindset, we’ll meet you where you are. But we do draw clear boundaries.
We do not work with individuals who:
Engage in illegal or unethical activities
Are involved in money laundering, fraud, or criminal financial activity
Intend to use our services to hide income, evade taxes, or mislead regulators
Are under active investigation or litigation related to financial misconduct
Request advice that would violate ethical or legal standards
Are looking for hype or shortcuts
Want day trading advice, “meme stock” signals, or crypto speculation
Expect us to give hot picks or tell them when to buy/sell
Believe there’s a shortcut to wealth that doesn’t involve clarity and discipline
Aren't ready to engage or collaborate
Are unwilling to fill out onboarding forms, join sessions, or respond to outreach
Show repeated disrespect for time, boundaries, or communication norms
Expect “done-for-you” financial results without any input or involvement

Push political, religious, or ideological agendas onto the advisor or other clients
Seek to exploit our mission of accessibility and flexibility for personal gain
Bottom Line
If you’re honest, open, and trying to do better. we’ll go all in with you. But if your actions violate trust, law, or decency, we will decline or discontinue the relationship without hesitation.
