Looking at finances on an individual level

Opens in popupRead transcriptfor Personal support

My first job, I was in 4th grade, and I delivered newspapers. I started working very young. I was a cashier at a restaurant, I was a customer service rep, and I became a nurse because I enjoyed caring for people. Once I became a Financial Consultant, I really could care for my clients.

[Speaking on the phone] “This is Cheri. I’m good. How are you, Joe?”

I think the value that I add to my clients is not just having low expenses, but really getting to know my clients and helping with the big picture. Whether it’s somebody having a baby, getting married, getting divorced, a lot of emotional stuff is tied in with finance.

[Speaking to a client] “Alright, thank you so much for coming in.”

It’s a learning process every time you go into something new. Having twins was a surprise to us. We had no idea. When they were 2-1/2, they weren’t really talking like they should have been. We got a speech therapist to come in, and she had worked in autism before. She suggested that we have Hunter tested, and sure enough, we got the diagnosis and we started therapy. Five, six days a week they were coming to our house. He has done so much work to get to the place that he is today. I think he’s just awesome.

The reason I’ve stayed at Schwab for 14 years is because I really feel that I can do the right things for clients. That’s just who I am. Schwab has the philosophy of Own your tomorrow, and I think it is so true. I think I’ve done that in my own life, and I love assisting clients get from where they are to where they want to be.

Common questions

Your Financial Consultant can provide professional guidance to help you stay on track with your financial goals. They can help with things like: being a sounding board for investment decisions, helping to position your portfolio to weather volatile markets, and providing an informative point of view.

Your Financial Consultant makes recommendations based on you—your goals, your financial situation, your tolerance for risk, and any other factors that should be considered so that the guidance you receive fits what you want to accomplish. Their compensation is structured to help limit conflict of interest, focusing on your priorities. They also back their service with a Satisfaction Guarantee3. Go to schwab.com/satisfaction to learn what’s included and how it works.

Your Financial Consultant will review any applicable fees and commissions you'll be paying, so those costs will be transparent and you'll understand exactly what you're paying.

Your Financial Consultant1 is paid in several ways. First, they receive a "base salary" to serve all the clients in their practice. Financial Consultants also receive two other sources of compensation: service and solutions pay. To learn more, visit our Financial Consultant's compensation page.

You can review your Financial Consultant's bio. Or for more detailed, you can use BrokerCheck. This site lets you research financial brokers, advisors, and firms for information such as employment history, regulatory actions, and investment-related licensure, arbitrations, and complaints.

Dedicated Financial Consultants are generally made available to clients with $500,000 or more in assets at Schwab and more complex investing needs. That said, you and every Schwab client can count on tools, research, and 24/7 support from investment professionals to help you reach your goals.

All of our Financial Consultants provide highly personalized advice based on your goals, asset size, and investing needs. They can also connect you to specialists when you have more complex planning and financial needs, such as trust, estate, and fixed income.
