Craig Ralph and the team at Financial Lifestyle Partners has designed a unique approach to client service standards and professional culture. One of our many points of differentiation is delivering high quality service and advice on a “fee for service” basis.
In 1994, Craig developed a strong desire to embrace a fee for service model. Craig engaged the services of several industry experts, along with his own innovative concepts and ideas, to develop what has proven to be an unsurpassed standard of client service delivery. Then in 1997, we were one of the first to launch a fee for service client model.
