Paul K. Fain, III, CFP®, president of Knoxville’s Asset Planning Corporation (APC), a financial planning firm, was recently featured in the WSJBlog of Wall Street Journal’s Digital Network about APC’s move to restore hourly consulting to his firm’s service offerings.

In the interview, Fain said that his objective is to be able to help clients who may not have had access to APC’s expertise due to financial restraints. He told WSJ, “You’ve got to have some community‐mindedness, a heart for helping people and a heart for serving people. I’m really blessed, because I sit at the helm of a 35‐year‐old practice that has an established reputation. We have some savings in the bank, and I’m generally content with my personal lifestyle. So why not share how to attain that with people from all economic strata?”

APC has increased its staff to accommodate this new move in addition to one staff member obtaining her CFP designation. APC will also continue to focus on core asset management clients with utmost care.

Asset Planning Corporation focuses on wealth management strategies for all personal financial situations. Offering timely and accurate advice since 1975, Asset Planning Corporation is a client‐centric, fee‐based firm that implements a holistic approach to financial wellness. It has been nationally recognized by numerous national magazines, including being named in Money magazine’s “top financial planners”, Financial Advisor’s “top independent Registered Investment Advisor firms”, one of Wealth Manager’s “Top Dogs”, and Medical Economics “150 Best Financial Advisors”. Additionally, its founder, the late P. Kemp Fain, is widely recognized as one of the founding fathers of financial planning, forming the first chapter of the International Association of Financial Planning (now the Financial Planning Association or FPA with more than 50,000 members) in 1972.
