Datapoint Financial Planning provides fiduciary financial advice through a transparent, hourly, fee-only model. Rather than charging asset-based fees or tying costs to portfolio size, the firm lets clients pay for the advice and services they need, with flexible engagements and no long-term commitment described. Founded by David E. Barfield, CFP®, the practice emphasizes personalized guidance designed around each client’s circumstances, goals, and lifestyle.

Its services cover retirement and tax planning, including retirement readiness, tax-efficient withdrawals, Social Security and Medicare decisions, and retirement plans for self-employed people and small businesses. Datapoint also offers investment recommendations, asset allocation guidance, college savings and education planning, and strategies for prioritizing debt repayment. The firm helps clients plan for goals such as building wealth, funding education, and preparing for retirement. By focusing on expertise rather than assets, Datapoint aims to make financial planning clear, accessible, and aligned with clients’ best interests. Its approach combines individualized strategies with straightforward fees, helping people make informed decisions across different stages of their financial lives.
