We are in a place where things have become very specialized. The financial planner you want is one who hasn't yet built his client list so large that he's unable to spend the time on you. Of course you want a fee-only planner.

When I'm tutoring a calculus student at $150/hr, and the parent asks if I have an extra hour for their 4th grader, they are telling me 2 things. They and their calc student don't have the time or patience to do it, and they have the money to pay me, when, in theory, their are high school kids who would be thrilled to make $25/hr.

In this case, what you are asking may be a bit different from their typical client, but for someone trying to build a client list, they might be willing to take you on.

Your request is certainly valid, people pick and choose what they DIY vs what they sub out.
