Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!

In this episode, Billy and Andrew break down exactly what sits behind a financial advice fee — from the initial Statement of Advice to ongoing service reviews, the compliance infrastructure, the research, and the team that makes it all work.

They challenge the assumption that a lower fee means better value, and explain why understanding what you're paying for is just as important as the dollar amount itself.

This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered whether their advice fee is worth it, or who has avoided getting advice altogether because the cost felt unclear.
