William Howard & Co. Financial Advisors, Inc. (“WHC”) is an Investment Adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We feel it is important for you to understand how advisory and brokerage services and fees differ in order to determine which type of account or service is right for you. There are free and simple tools available to research firms and financial professionals at www.investor.gov/crs, which also provides educational materials about investment advisers, broker-dealers, and investing.

We will regularly monitor your investments on a quarterly basis, with assets and transactions reviewed daily, as part of our standard services. Please refer to Item 4 of our Form ADV Part 2A for further information.
We manage accounts on a discretionary basis, which means we do not need to call you when buying or selling investments in your account. You will sign an investment management agreement and limited power of attorney giving us this authority. This agreement will remain in place until you or we terminate our relationship. We also monitor and assist with some accounts on a non-discretionary basis, which means that you make the ultimate decision regarding buying or selling investments in your account. Please refer to Item 16 of our Form ADV Part 2A for further information.
We do not limit our advice and services to proprietary products or a limited menu of products or investments.

Fees and costs affect the value of your account over time and vary depending on certain factors. Please ask us to give you personalized information on the fees and costs you will pay.

The broker-dealer (“custodian”) that holds your assets can charge you a transaction fee when we buy or sell an investment for you. These transaction fees are in addition to our advisory fee. You could also pay fees charged by the custodian for certain investments and maintaining your account. Some investments, such as mutual funds and exchange traded funds charge additional fees that will reduce the value of your investments over time.
You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. Please refer to Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A for further information.
WHC provides investment advisory services. The fees for investment advisory services are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of each calendar quarter and are payable at the end of each calendar quarter. We also provide financial advisory services on matters not involving securities.
WHC’s revenue is from the advisory fees we collect from our clients’ accounts each quarter. We have an incentive to increase the amount of investments we manage which could bias our advice towards investing more rather than paying off debt or recommending you not have investments that we do not manage. We do not sell proprietary products, receive payments for referrals, or participate in revenue sharing.
Our staff are employees of the firm and are paid a fixed salary. The Investment Advisor also receives on a quarterly basis the advisory fees that WHC collects from the accounts managed.
