Hark Financial Planning
Your finances are complex. So is your career. Most advisors don't understand either.
Hark is financial planning built exclusively for attorneys. From first-year associate to named partner.
Fee-only. No AUM. No conflicts.
Who this is for
You know how to read a contract. You still can't figure out where your money goes.
You're billing 2,000 hours a year. You're good at your job. And somehow the student loans are still there, the savings feel behind, and nobody at your firm talks about this stuff.
It's not a discipline problem
The law firm income structure — equity distributions, partnership tracks, deferred comp — none of it was designed to be financially legible.
It's a complexity problem
Your comp structure changes every year. Your tax situation is unlike anyone outside a law firm. Generic financial advice doesn't just miss — it costs you.
That's what we fix
Hark translates the financial complexity of a legal career into a plan you can actually follow — and a number you can actually trust.
How we work
Think of it like having in-house financial counsel.
Ongoing Planning
Your general counsel
Working together on all aspects of your financial life, including investment management, taxes, and whatever life throws your way. Prices range from $400–$750 per month with a one-time onboarding fee that ranges from $1,000–$3,000, depending on complexity.
$400–$750/month
Who is this for?
Those looking for partnership and ongoing guidance, rather than a transactional relationship
Families, business owners, and those with financial complexity and/or frequent life changes
Those looking to delegate financial action items to free up time
Think of this like getting an in-house general counsel: a resource available to you to provide proactive advice, support, and follow-through on an ongoing basis.
Project Planning
Outside counsel
One-time financial planning based on a fixed fee for the agreed-upon project scope. Option to add on financial monitoring with an annual check-in meeting.
$3,000–$6,000 flat
Who is this for?
Those wanting to get organized financially and develop a “map” to follow
Those just starting out who want to establish a solid foundation and forward-looking plan
Those comfortable with implementing action items on their own
Think of this like hiring outside counsel: bringing in a resource to address specific problems, answer questions, and assess the current situation.
Hourly Consulting
Expert witness
Pay hourly to address some questions or get a second opinion. The hourly rate is $350.
$350/hour
Who is this for?
Those looking for a check-up or second opinion on their financial status
Those who have specific concerns or topics they want to better understand
Those comfortable with implementing action items on their own
Think of this like hiring an expert consultant: you have some specific questions that you want addressed and to see if you have the facts straight.
All fees are fixed. No percentage of your assets. No hidden incentives.
