Welcome to another episode of Ask Hilary, where we tackle money questions people are asking our advisors and the internet. Today, Hilary is digging into a question that our team gets asked regularly–and with good reason!–when we’re getting to know potential clients:
Is paying an advisory fee really worth it—especially when I could manage things myself or pay hourly for a plan?
To answer this question, Hilary offers some clarification about simple vs. complex financial situations, and who benefits most from comprehensive financial services. She also shares examples of the work we do for our clients all year long–plus the potential cost of financial mistakes as your net worth grows.
Listen in to hear what Hilary has learned over her decades of experience in finance, and get the human-centric perspective that ChatGPT and Google search results just can’t provide.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
