Our Simple rebel service is to allow people that have little to no start on investing to be able to! We want to provide an affordable financial planning service to provide basic investment services for anyone ready to start. Have access to our robust planning tools, online storage, plan reviews, and receive support from our advisors.

eRebel was designed to merge the best of online efficiency with real world experienced financial advisors. This gives you the ability to hire a great financial advisor at a great price so that you can make better decisions and more efficiently move yourself closer to financial freedom.

Our Silver rebel clients are on-going clients of our firm that receive the highest level of investment management and financial advice without formal financial planning/modeling. To be succinct, this is what most financial advisors provide to their clients.

Our Gold rebel service model is our highest level of service and probably the best value option because it includes so many services. It includes everything that is offered in all of our lower service levels plus full financial planning/modeling and tax/estate document preparation for qualifying households.

*Plus, our fee schedule on assets under management (AUM). The monthly fee is waived once you have more than $250,000 AUM. Universities without fee billing pay via monthly deduction from paypal with a 10% discount.
