This Agreement is entered into by the undersigned party(ies) {salutation} (hereinafter "Client") and Cofield Advisors (hereinafter "Firm”). The Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for the annual engagement with regard to the services provided by the Firm to the client.

We are looking forward to working with you throughout this financial advisory and business management engagement. This letter is to confirm our mutual understanding of the terms and objectives of our engagement to provide you with financial advisory, business management, and tax services as well as the nature and limitations of the services we will provide. We will prepare both your business and personal financial plan after consideration of your financial objectives and goals, and your present and forecasted financial situation. Our services will encompass the following activities:

• Business Management
• Year-round Tax Planning
• Entity Formation (LLC, S-Corp, etc.)
• Self-Employed Retirement Account Setup (SEP IRA, SOLO 401(k))
• CFO Services (Financial Analysis, Financial reporting, etc.)
• Accounting/Bookkeeping services
• Personal / Business Cash Flow Planning
• Personal / Business Credit Consulting
• Investment Management
• Financial Planning
• Tax Preparation 

Our approach to the Business Management & Financial Advisory process will include the following steps: 

• We will schedule a preliminary meeting to assist you in defining short-term and long-term goals and to gather information about your business and personal financial situation

• In addition to the quantitative data requested in our data gathering questionnaire, 

• we will require copies of all business documents (if applicable), profit and loss statements, prior tax returns, and balance sheets. 

• we will require copies of all pertinent documents (if applicable), such as wills, trusts, investment holdings (and their cost bases), personal employment benefit statements, Social Security benefit statements, prior tax returns, and insurance coverages. 

• We may require access to and discussions with your accountants, lawyers, insurance advisors, and other advisors or salespeople. 

• After the information has been received, we will organize and review the data. We will analyze the quantitative information relating to tax liability (both income and estate), cash flow, net worth, risk management, and retirement. This should enable us to make appropriate projections with respect to your financial plan. 

· Subsequent meetings may be required to verify the accuracy of the data and to allow you to validate the assumptions used in the projections. Our analysis and recommendations are based on information you provide, and it is essential that we receive correct information. 

• Based on our analysis of the data, we will outline alternative strategies or courses of action to meet your immediate and long-term goals and objectives and to mitigate problems uncovered. 

• Refund Policy: After the first 12 months of service, if we have not saved you (tax savings, debt reduction, etc) or made you (investment returns, refinance assets etc.) more money than we've cost you with our services, we will refund you the difference. This refund policy is barring the client (you) follow and implement all recommendations provided by us and this refund policy is applied for the first year of service. If it can be proved that the client (you) did not follow our recommendation and/or was negligent in correctly implementing our recommendations, this refund policy will be null and void.  

• Termination Policy: The client can terminate services at any point during the engagement. However, the client will be billed to the point of termination. Meaning if the client terminates on 3/15/2021, the client will still be billed for the 15 days of services provided that month. 

In order to ensure that we give you sound and appropriate advice and recommendations, it is your responsibility to give us accurate information on which we can base our financial recommendations. The client needs to provide complete and accurate information regarding all aspects of your personal and financial situation (In essence, we are not held liable in any circumstances if given false or misleading information). 

We will aid you in the decision-making process, suggest alternative recommendations to help you achieve your objectives, and assist you in determining how well each alternative meets your financial planning objectives. The suggestions and recommendations included in your personal financial plan will be advisory in nature, and we cannot guarantee the performance of any investment or insurance products that may be purchased to implement recommendations in your plan. The plan will also include financial projections based on assumptions about future events. We cannot vouch for the achievability of such projections because the assumptions about future events may not prove to be accurate. If in the course of this engagement we become aware of a service needed to complete the engagement that we do not or will not provide, we will advise you of that needed service and recommend to you in writing that you engage another service provider to address that service. If you decline to engage such recommended service provider, and we determine that such action impairs our ability to properly address the terms of this engagement, we will so advise you, in writing, and terminate this engagement. If you decline to engage such recommended service provider and we determine that our ability to properly address the terms of this engagement is not impaired, but may be limited in some way, we will advise you, in writing, with respect to how we believe our conclusions and recommendations may be affected.

We cannot be responsible for the acts, omissions, or solvency of any broker, agent, or independent contractor or other advisor or professional selected to implement any part of your personal financial plan. Our services are not designed, and should not be relied upon, as a substitute for your own business judgment nor are they meant to mitigate the necessity of your personal review and analysis of a particular investment. Our services are designed to supplement your own planning analysis and to aid you in fulfilling your financial objectives. In addition, these services are not designed to discover fraud, irregularities, or misrepresentations made in materials provided to us concerning your potential investments or insurance coverages. 

The set up fee will be due (in full) prior to our first meeting. Thereafter, your monthly payments will be due on the 1st or 15th of each month for 12 months depending on what date our engagement begins. Our 5% fee calculation is based on net revenue which is found on the client profit and loss statement within Quickbooks. All money deposited into the client's bank account that we will be required to manage is part of this 5% calculation. 

In the event we refer you to another service provider, we will not receive any compensation for making such a referral. We will not evaluate the work performed by the referred service provider. 

We have no conflicts of interest in the acceptance of this engagement. We will advise you of any conflicts of interest, should they arise. 

You will, of course, be free to follow or disregard, in whole or in part, any recommendations we make. You are under no obligation to act on any recommendation. Because you did not engage us to assist you with the implementation of your personal financial plan, we cannot be responsible for any decisions you make regarding implementation of the recommendations. We will be pleased to discuss this letter with you at any time. If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign one copy of this letter in the space provided and return it to us. The additional copy is for your files. This engagement may be terminated without penalty or further obligation except for the payment of fees for services performed and expenses incurred prior to termination. We agree that we will not assign this engagement without your prior written approval. If we can be of assistance to you in any other way, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you develop and maintain a sound, businesslike approach to your personal financial affairs. 

1.Scope of Engagement.You hereby appoint us as your investment adviser to provide ongoing investment management services and perform the services described below. We accept such appointment with respect to the assets you designate to be subject to this Agreement (the "Assets" or "Accounts"). We shall manage and/or advise you regarding your Accounts based upon your stated investment objectives and the most current financial information you have provided to us in writing ("Client Profile"). 

You hereby appoint us as your attorney-in-fact and grant us limited power-of-attorney and trading authority to implement transactions in your Accounts ("Trading Authority") and authorize us to buy, sell, and trade in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, index funds, exchange traded funds, and other securities and/or contracts relating to the same, including investing Assets in short-term money-market instruments when we deem necessary (collectively, "Securities"), and to give instructions in furtherance of such Trading Authority to the broker-dealer of the Account ("Broker-Dealer") and the custodian of the Assets ("Custodian"). Lastly, you agree to give us the right of Discretionary Investment Management over all accounts we manage. 

2. Management Fee.Our annual fee for the services provided under this Agreement (“Management Fee") shall be based on a percentage of the market value of the Assets under our management. Our fee is 1% of all Assets under our management. The Management Fee shall be paid quarterly, in advance, based on the market value of the Assets on the last day of the previous quarter. The Management Fee for the initial pay period shall generally be calculated on a pro rata basis commencing on the day the Assets are initially designated to us for management under this Agreement. However, alternative billing practices may be utilized when required by a specific Broker Dealer or Custodian and will be fully disclosed in their respective Account opening documents.No portion of the Management Fee shall be based on capital gains or capital appreciation of the Assets except as provided herein and provided for under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act") and analogous state securities laws.No increase in the Management Fee shall be effective without prior written notification to you. You hereby direct and authorize us to invoice the Custodian for the Management Fee (the "Fee Statement") and direct and authorize the Custodian to deduct the amount stated in the Fee Statement from your Account.Concurrent with the deduction of the fee, we send you an invoice showing: (1) the amount of the fee, (2) the value of assets on which the fee is based, and (3) the specific manner in which the fee was calculated. You also direct, and authorize us to instruct the Custodian to send you a statement, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the Account including the Management Fee paid from the Account. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of the calculation of the Management Fee and that the Custodian will not determine whether the Management Fee is accurate or properly calculated. 

3.Execution of Brokerage Transactions.Unless agreed otherwise, we shall arrange for the execution of securities brokerage transactions for the Assets through a Broker-Dealer that we reasonably believe will provide "best execution."In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible commission cost but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of the Broker-Dealer's services including trading platform, investment analysis tools, execution capability, commission rates, responsiveness, and the value of any research material or resources that may be provided. Accordingly, they may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for Account transactions. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.

4.Custodian.We shall not maintain physical custody of your Assets. Your Assets will be held in the custody of a Custodian meeting the requirements of a "qualified custodian" under Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act or applicable state law.We are authorized to give instructions to the Custodian with respect to all investment decisions regarding the Assets and the Custodian is hereby authorized and directed to effect transactions, deliver securities, make payments and otherwise take such actions as we shall direct in connection with the performance of our obligations with respect to the Assets.The fees charged to you by the Custodian are exclusive of, and in addition to the Management Fee and other charges, discussed herein.

5.Risk Acknowledgement.We do not guarantee the future performance of your Account, any specific level of performance, the success of any investment recommendation or strategy that we may recommend, or the overall success of the Account. You understand that our investment recommendations for your Account are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business risks, and that those investment decisions will not always be profitable.

6.Adviser Liability.Except as otherwise provided by law, neither we nor any of our employees, affiliates, representatives or agents shall be liable for (a) any loss that you may suffer by reason of any decision made or other action taken or omitted in good faith by us with that degree of care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances that a person acting in a fiduciary capacity would use, (b) any loss arising from our adherence to your written or oral instructions, or (c) any act or failure to act by the Custodian, any Broker-Dealer to which transactions for the Account are directed, or by any non-party.The federal and state securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and therefore nothing in this Agreement will waive or limit any rights that you may have under those laws. 

 

7.Proxies. We are precluded from: (a) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of securities you beneficially own shall be voted, and (b) making all elections relative to any mergers, acquisitions, tender effacezaekuptateproceedings or other type events pertaining to the 

securities in the Account. You authorize and direct us to instruct the Custodian to forward to you copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to the Assets. 8.Reports.Unless otherwise agreed upon, you shall be provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular summary account statements directly from the Broker-Dealer or Custodian for your Accounts.

9.Non-Exclusivity. You acknowledge and understand that we shall be free to render investment advice to others and that we do not make our services available exclusively to you. We (and our Advisory Affiliates, employees, representatives, and agents) may have or take the same or similar positions in specific investments for our own accounts, or for the accounts of other clients, as we do for you.Nothing in this Agreement shall put us under any obligation to purchase or sell, or to recommend for purchase or sale for the Account, any security which we (or our Advisory Affiliates, employees, representatives, and agents) may purchase or sell for our own accounts or for the account of any other client, unless in our sole determination, such investment would be in the best interest of the Account.

Except for decisions regarding the purchase and/or sale of specific investments, all of your directions to us (including notices, instructions, and directions relating to changes in your investment objectives) shall be in writing. We may rely upon any such direction, notice, or instruction unless and until we have been advised in writing of changes thereto.
