Foothills Financial Planning Brings Unique Brand of Financial Advice to Utah

Aug. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Foothills Financial Planning (FFP), a Phoenix-based fee-only financial planning firm, now provides financial planning to residents of Utah.  With offices in Phoenix and Scottsdale, FFP can now provide financial planning advice to Utah residents statewide.

Foothills Financial Planning is a fee-only advisor and a fiduciary.  Unlike most financial advisors, a fiduciary has a legal responsibility to act in the customer’s best interest, and does not receive compensation from anyone except the customer.  Advice is provided on an “as needed” basis, and can range from a couple of hours working on a specific issue to a full financial plan or ongoing investment management.  Customers of FFP receive independent, objective financial advice from an advisor whose interests are aligned with theirs.  

Foothills Financial Planning is a member of the Garrett Planning Network, a national network of fee-only advisors, and is the only member of the Garrett network to be registered in Utah.  Garrett has been profiled in BusinessWeek, The Wall Street Journal, SmartMoney, The New York Times, Money, Financial Planning magazine, and numerous other consumer publications as "the new choice for smart consumers."

FFP offers services to Utah residents both in person and virtually.  “We have great video and teleconferencing tools in our offices,” said Kevin O’Reilly, principal of FFP.  “We are comfortable communicating either in person, virtually, or via email and secure sites on the internet.”  FFP offers a free get acquainted meeting to explore customers’ needs and map out a plan for a solid financial future.
