How We Help

Only Advice, No products

Baystate Wealth Advisors is a fee only firm that does not receive commissions, kickbacks, or any type of revenue from our vendor relationships. The only fees we collect come directly from you, the client. Whether we recommend life insurance, a specific investment strategy, paying down debt or getting your estate plan done, you can rest assured that we are making these recommendations because they are in your best interest and not to going to our bottom line. We intentionally choose this model because we believe it reduces as many conflicts of interest as possible.
