Debra advocates for a systematic approach to client service, ensuring transparency and predictability. She also discusses various fee structures, including AUM (Assets Under Management) fees and alternative payment arrangements, to ensure fair and flexible compensation for the services provided. Your fees reflect your professional value. Debra answers questions like:
