Do I need $250,000 to work with CayDen?
No. Wealth Accelerator is designed for Emerging Wealth households building toward that milestone. The program is $350/month and brings planning, investment management, and tax support into one relationship.
What happens when I graduate to Pinnacle?
At $250,000 in assets managed with CayDen, you transition to Pinnacle Wealth Management. The monthly program subscription transitions to an AUM-based advisory fee, with a standard annual rate of 1.25%, subject to the applicable fee schedule. Your team continues with you as your planning needs expand.
Can I work with CayDen on a one-time financial plan?
Yes. Financial Freedom Blueprints are project-based planning engagements starting at $5,000. Your written plan connects retirement analysis, a tax-planning roadmap, investment recommendations, and prioritized next steps. We agree on the scope and fee before work begins. An ongoing subscription is not required; implementation and continuing services are separate unless included in your agreement.
Can I start directly with Pinnacle?
Yes. Households already meeting the $250,000 managed-asset threshold can begin with Pinnacle. We’ll review your accounts and planning needs together to confirm the right fit.
Are tax preparation and filing included?
Both ongoing service levels include tax planning and annual tax preparation and filing. Tax services are provided by CayDen Financial, a separate affiliated company. Your engagement documents define the scope for your household.
What if my portfolio drops below $250,000 after graduation?
You stay in Pinnacle. A market-related decline below the graduation threshold does not send you back to Wealth Accelerator.
Is CayDen a fiduciary?
Yes. CayDen Wealth Management is a fee-only fiduciary advisory firm. We put your financial interests first and explain our recommendations and fees so you can make informed decisions.
What can I expect from the first meeting?
A conversation about your current financial picture, goals, and priorities. We’ll explain how we can help, which service level fits, and what it costs. You can decide whether the relationship is right for you.
