Affiliations
Lara Lamb is a proud member of the following societies and adheres to their standards of professional excellence and integrity.
Making competent, objective financial advice accessible
Lara Lamb is a member of the Garrett Planning Network, an international affiliation of Fee-Only financial planners dedicated to serving people from all walks of life. As staunch consumer advocates and fee-only client fiduciaries, members of the Garrett Planning Network make competent, commission-free financial planning widely available. Many financial advisors accept clients only if they meet certain income and net worth requirements. Lara and her fellow Garrett network members believe that professional, objective financial advice is something all Americans need, at least periodically, to build their brightest financial futures. Holding to this philosophy, Lara is proud to offer the same quality, professional advice to all clients, not just the affluent.
Members bring the collective wisdom of the entire network – over 300 financial planning and allied professionals – to their own individual practices. Advice is provided on an hourly or per-project basis. Working hourly means that clients pay only for the time an advisor works with or for them. Some Garrett members also offer their services on a retainer basis (a flat fee based on expected annual service hours), as at Lamb Financial Planning. Members do not accept sales commissions or third-party compensation; all compensation comes directly from their clients. Learn more at www.garrettplanningnetwork.com.
