Financial Planning About You, Not Product Sales

Kinkelaar & Associates was founded by Mary Deshong-Kinkleaar, a Certified Financial Planner™ professional, based on her personal experience.  She saw a flaw in the way most financial planning was offered, emphasizing product sales rather than competent advice.

Mary felt there had to be a better way to work with people on such important life matters. This philosophy formed her commitment to offering fee-only, as needed financial planning services.

Let’s Talk

Please take a look at How to Get Started, then schedule an introductory phone call with Mary by contacting us online or at 800-716-0674.  This is the first step in getting to know each other, allowing us time to answer your initial questions and discuss your financial planning needs.

We don’t accept 3rd party compensation based on our product recommendations, so our advice is free from the conflicts of commissions or incentives.  We’re paid exclusively by our clients.

You avoid the sales pressure and know our advice is not based on a hidden agenda.

Through hourly, as-needed engagements, we work with individuals and families regardless of net worth or income.  We don’t require long-term contracts nor do we take over your investments. 

You retain control and get the level of customized service you want at a reasonable price.

We’re not affiliated with any bank, brokerage firm, or insurance company. Therefore, our strategies aren’t limited and we can advise on a wide range of investment products and services.

You receive specific recommendations focused on meeting your unique needs.

We are a Fiduciary

As a Registered Investment Advisor, we’re legally bound by a fiduciary duty to place our client’s best interest above the firm’s. You might think all financial service providers offer this, but most do not.

Your interests come first and we’ve signed a written fiduciary oath to prove our commitment.
