About Fit Financial Consulting, LLC

Navigate finance, investing, and retirement

Financial Planning for Today

  • At Fit Financial Consulting LLC, financial planning and investing is about you, your goals and aspirations.

  1. Financial plans begin with a discovery meeting to get to know one another, address your current financial situation and where you want to go from here.
  2. I’ll crunch the numbers and provide you with a comprehensive financial plan customized to you and your family.
  3. Not an off the shelf document generated by generic financial planning software.
  4. But detailed answers to all of your financial questions and many questions you haven’t even asked yet.
  5. Next, we work together to plot the course from where you are today, to where you want to be tomorrow.
  6. Finally, we monitor and track our recommendations to ensure they continue to align with your financial goals and are meeting, or exceeding, expectations.

Investing, investment analysis

Investing for Tomorrow

  

  • Modern Portfolio Theory isn’t dead, it has evolved.
  • Diversification still works, but not in the way you think.
  • Upgrade your portfolio today by learning from the legends like David Swensen of the Yale Endowment and Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway.
  • No, a 60% direct investment in private equity, like Yale, is not practical for most investors, but a 30% allocation to alternatives assets and alternative strategies, blended with traditional investments, can help optimize a portfolio and smooth out the ride. 
  • Dividends, value, and alternatives, are all investment strategies that can be incorporated into your portfolio, but deriving the proper blend that is tailored to your goals, your ability to assume risk, and your willingness to assume risk, is key to your financial success. Whatever your aspirations may be, we will build a strategic allocation designed to incorporate the many factors affecting your financial success, all while keeping an eye to the horizon for pending change.

Fiduciary duty, trust, and care.  Act in the best interest of my clients.

Fee Only, Fiduciary Advice All the Time

  • As a fee only Investment Advisor I am compensated for my advice by you, the client.  I never sell products or receive commissions for the investments we use.  Furthermore, I am bound by the fiduciary duty, the highest legal duty of one party to another.  That means I am bound to act in the best interest of my clients at all times.

  •  As an Investment Advisor, Sean enjoys nothing more than digging into financial statements and excel spreadsheets to analyze investments. He believes that a Financial Planner’s job doesn’t end with planning and could all be for naught, if your investments don’t meet your expectations.
  • As the son of a DO and PT, perhaps it was his childhood growing up in the halls of clinics or the many linkages between physical fitness and financial fitness he found later in life, that drove his affinity for his clients. Whatever the case, Sean works predominantly with medical professionals, relishing the opportunity to help make their financials as healthy as they seek to make their patients. 
  • Sean started investing when he was 16.  At age 20 he set the goal of being able to retire by age 45.  By 24, he was several years ahead of that target.  Although starting his own business set this goal back a few years, by age 38 he could still retire by age 50 (if he chose), even if he never saved another dime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at sean.cooper@fitfinancialconsulting.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

  

I work one on one with my clients, often meeting them in their homes or my own, to develop strategies specific to their financial goals. Financial plans are always custom, never generic or off-the-shelf plans created by standardized software. Furthermore, while some firms push higher margin, proprietary products, or funds that their corporate office makes more money selling, I never sell products, nor am I incentivized to do so. I implement investments for their utility inside of the overall portfolio.  To that end, I also utilize roughly 30% alternatives in order to optimize the risk/reward profile of my clients’ portfolios while many firms will not allow more than 10% because the home office does not want to bare the risk, even if it is in the best interest of the client.


  

I have three main focuses: 1) Keep the total cost of investing low. 2) Invest roughly 30% in alternative assets and strategies in order to optimize the risk/reward profile of your portfolio. 3) Proprietary methodologies designed to minimize the impact of major market corrections. All of these are implemented in order to increase the likelihood of achieving your investment objectives while minimizing the stress of market fluctuations and reducing the chances of making emotional decisions that can impede your progress.


  

I utilize Charles Schwab as a custodian which means you have the support and oversight of a large corporation, registered and regulated by the SEC and I never personally touch your money, only effect trades in your accounts. Meanwhile you still benefit from the personal dedication of an independently owned Registered Investment Advisor, regulated by the State of Washington. I also carry $1,000,000.00 in errors and omissions insurance and $500,000.00 in cyber liability.


  

No, I do not currently have any minimums. However, in order to fully diversify your portfolio, I do need an initial deposit of at least a few thousand. I will also employ individual stock selection for clients whom I manage at least $300,000.00 and fully customized portfolios for clients for whom I managed at least $1,500,000.00.


  

After our initial meeting, if you decide to proceed, I will send you electronic forms for your review, completion, and records including a client agreement, two questionnaires, my ADV and menu of services. All of these can be completed electronically and, with the exception of one of the questionnaires, are short to complete. Once I have that documentation, I will reach out for a short discussion to confirm your risk profile and answer any questions. If I am going to be managing assets for you, I can complete most of the paperwork to set up your new account, and transfer the assets to Schwab. You will just need to complete a few items I leave blank in the paperwork like your SSN and signature. I handle the asset management from there. Financial plans do require additional legwork on your part. I will also set up a secure ShareFile folder for you to retain all of your documentation.


  

Once you decide you would like to hire me for investment management or financial planning services, we can get you set up in as little as a few hours. It’s just a matter of when you can get to the electronic paperwork I send to you. One of my questionnaires is the longest of the group, but much of the rest of the process just requires electronic signatures and date. Most of the time, everything is completed electronically. The transfer process can take a few days for funds to be fully available for trading.


  

All of the investments I utilize can be fully liquidated and available to move within two days (T+1 or trading day plus 1 day). We can also set up MoneyLink (Schwab’s version of ACH) so that you can transfer funds into, or out of your account, to a checking account (although this happens instantaneously, it can take overnight for the funds to be accessible depending on your institution).


  

I meet clients at their homes, my home office, a neutral location of their choosing, via Zoom, or phone.


My annual fee for asset management services ranges from 0.33%-1.35% depending on assets under management.  For financial planning services I charge $200.00 per hour, but this fee is discounted for clients for whom I manage assets to the point that there may be no additional fees for these services. Schwab does charge $25.00 for trading mutual funds and has some miscellaneous fees for certain services, which rarely apply. Aside from that, mutual funds and exchange traded funds have internal expenses that they charge that comes out of their net performance.  You can find more information about my fees on my services page, my ADV, or menu of services.
