06 — FEES

Clear fees. Agreed upfront.

You pay us — never the products we recommend. Every cost is agreed in writing before any work begins, so you always know exactly what you're paying for.

How we charge

Black Ink is independent and fee-only. We're paid directly by you, so our advice is never influenced by product commission or provider incentives. No hidden costs, no surprises — just a fee agreed before we start.

What you're paying for

A fee that buys real value.

01
Independent, whole-of-market advice

Recommendations chosen for you across the whole market — never for commission.

02
A plan built around your life

Cashflow modelling and stress-tested scenarios, so every decision is evidence-first.

03
Ongoing reviews

We keep the plan on track as life, markets and tax rules change.

04
Cross-border expertise

Multiple tax systems handled as one coherent plan — across 25 jurisdictions.

05
Direct access to your adviser

Real people, plain language, whenever you need them.

06
Full transparency

Every cost agreed upfront and in writing. You always know what you pay, and why.

How it's structured

Simple, and always agreed first.

01
Initial planning

A one-off fee for building your plan — a fixed amount or a percentage, agreed before any work begins.

02
Ongoing advice

A clear annual fee for continuous management, reviews and direct access to your adviser.

03
No product commission

We never take commission from providers. Ever.

Your exact figures are confirmed at your first consultation, in writing — after we understand what you actually need.
