Thus, the firm does not earn commissions from insurance or investment products, nor do they accept any payments for the sale of products or payments from third-party vendors. Clients know up front that the advice you receive is impartial and also exactly what the fee will be. As one client said, “Ira and his firm are great listeners, non-judgemental and give sound, doable advice all along the way.”
