Disclosure: 529 plans provide financial professionals compensation via the underlying mutual funds, which requires the financial professional to be registered with a broker-dealer. Hill Island Financial is not registered with a broker-dealer. However, to best suit our clients’ needs, Hill Island assists with 529 plans and collects no compensation. We cannot accept traditional 529 compensation, and we do not charge a financial planning fee associated with our college-planning work.
