Fee-only advisors for early-career professionals

Early-career professionals, in the first five to seven years of a high-earning career, have a short list of high-leverage decisions: debt structure, tax-advantaged savings, insurance, first real-estate decisions, and equity-comp choices. Small, one-time plans in this window can compound meaningfully.
