Your financial life deserves a plan. Not a product.

Good Moneying Wealth Planners is a SEBI-registered, fee-only financial planning and investment advisory practice. We help professionals, business owners, and NRI families make better financial decisions through comprehensive financial planning, investment advice, and ongoing guidance.


We are compensated entirely through advisory fees—never commissions or product sales.

I'm Manikaran Singal

CFP® | CTEP® | Author, The Art of Being Good with Money | 20+ Years Experience

Over the years, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate some of life's most important financial decisions. What I've learned is that most money challenges are rarely about investments alone. They are about balancing goals, responsibilities, opportunities and uncertainties while trying to build a meaningful life.

That's why I founded Good Moneying Wealth Planners. I wanted to create a firm where financial advice begins with understanding the person before discussing products, investments or strategies. Every recommendation starts with your goals, your circumstances and the life you want your money to support.

As a SEBI Registered Investment Adviser, we work on a fee-only basis, which means our clients pay us directly for advice and we earn no commissions from financial products. The same belief is reflected in my book, The Art of Being Good with Money — that better financial decisions come from clarity, understanding and thoughtful guidance, not product sales.

How We Work Together

Financial planning isn't about products. It's about understanding your life, creating a roadmap and helping you stay on track.

We Start With a Conversation

We begin with an honest, no-obligation conversation about what's on your mind and what you want your money to do for your life — and to see whether we're the right fit for each other.

We Understand Your Full Situation

Before advising anything, we take time to understand your complete picture — your goals, your responsibilities and the decisions ahead. Good advice has to start with genuinely knowing you.

We Create Your Financial Roadmap

We bring everything together into a clear financial roadmap — helping you understand what matters most, what actions to take, and how different decisions may shape your future. The goal isn't complexity; it's clarity and confidence.

We Stay With You Over Time

Life keeps changing, and your plan should keep pace. We continue to work alongside you — reviewing progress, helping you navigate new decisions and adjusting the plan as life evolves. Always paid by you, never by commissions.

Advice That's Only Ever

on Your Side

Much of the financial advice people receive is tied to products. Advisers are often paid when a product is sold, creating a conflict many investors never see

At Good Moneying, we work differently. As a fee-only SEBI Registered Investment Adviser, our clients pay us directly for advice and we do not earn commissions from financial products.

The result is simple: our recommendations are driven by what makes sense for you, not by what pays us more. Whether the answer is to invest, wait, repay a loan, hold cash or do nothing at all, our advice is shaped by your goals, your circumstances and the life you're trying to build — nothing else.

What Guides Every Recommendation

Advice Without Product Bias

We are compensated only by our clients. That means every recommendation is guided by what makes sense for you—not by commissions, incentives or sales targets.

Planning Before Products

Investments, insurance and taxes are important. But they should follow a plan, not drive it. We begin with your goals and build every recommendation around them.

Clarity Over Complexity

Good advice should help you make better decisions with confidence. We focus on simplifying choices, explaining trade-offs and helping you understand what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some of the questions people commonly ask before deciding whether to work with us.

Working With Us & Fees

How do your fees work?

Money's the part everyone wants to be clear about, so we keep it simple. You pay us a clear advisory fee that we agree together before any work begins — and that fee is the only way we earn. No commissions, no cut from any product, nothing hidden in the background. You'll know exactly what you're paying and what it covers from the very first conversation, so there are no surprises later.

You're fee-only — what does that mean?

It means we're paid by one person only: you. We don't earn commissions or incentives from mutual funds, insurance companies, or anyone selling a product. So when we suggest something — or suggest you do nothing at all — it's because we think it's right for you, not because it pays us more. That's the whole point of working this way. It quietly removes a conflict that sits behind a lot of financial advice, and it's why our advice can stay firmly on your side.

Do you only advise, or also execute investments?

We advise — we don't hold your money or place trades for you. Everything stays in your own accounts, in your name, where you can see it. We'll tell you plainly what we think you should do and why, and then walk you through actually doing it, step by step. If you'd like help putting things in place, we'll guide you through the process step by step. But the accounts, and the final call, always stay yours.

Do I need to move my existing investments?

Not at all. Nothing moves to us, and we never hold your money. We begin by looking at what you already have — investments, insurance, loans, all of it — and help you make sense of what's working, what isn't, and what might be worth changing. Any change is your decision, made through your own accounts, in your own time. Often the most useful thing we do is simply help you understand what you already own.

Do I need a full financial plan, or can I just get investment advice?

You don't have to sign up for a full plan to talk to us. Some people come with one specific question; others want to step back and look at the whole picture. Both are fine. That said, we'll usually want to understand a little about your life first, because an investment decision rarely sits on its own — it's tied to your goals, your responsibilities, and whatever else is going on. Sometimes a single decision is all that's needed. Sometimes a broader plan makes more sense. Our job is to help you figure out which is which.

Getting Started

What happens in the first conversation?

It's just a relaxed chat to get to know each other — no cost, no obligation, no sales pitch. We'll ask about your goals and what's prompting you to look for advice, and you can ask us anything at all, including how we work and what it costs. The only aim is for both of us to figure out whether we're a good fit. And if we're not, we'll tell you honestly — we'd rather do that than take on the wrong client.

Can everything be done online?

Yes, completely. Conversations, planning, reviews — all of it can happen over video calls and email, wherever you are. You don't need to come to an office or live in a particular city, which makes things easy for busy professionals and for NRIs across different time zones. If you'd ever like to meet in person, we can usually sort that out too — but you'll never need to.

How often will we be in touch?

There's no fixed script for this. This is meant to be an ongoing relationship, not a one-time report you file away. We'll catch up to review things at regular points, and whenever something big shifts — a new job, a major expense, a decision you're chewing over. And in between, you can just reach out when something's on your mind. The idea is simple: you always have someone to think it through with.

Who We Work Best With

Is there a minimum income or portfolio size?

No. We're far more interested in whether you value planning and independent advice than in how large your portfolio happens to be today. Some of the people we work with are just getting started; others have a lot more moving parts to manage. The easiest way to know if it's a fit is simply to have that first conversation. If it isn't right for where you are, we'll say so — gently and honestly.

I already have investments and insurance products. Can you still help me?

Yes — honestly, that's how most people arrive. A mix of funds, policies, and products picked up over the years, and a quiet feeling of not being sure how it all fits together. We help you see what you actually hold, whether it still suits where you're headed, and what's worth keeping, changing, or simply leaving alone. No judgment about past decisions, and no rush to act on everything at once.

Do you work with NRIs?

We do. We work with Indians living abroad who are juggling money, goals, and family responsibilities across two countries. We help bring some order to your India investments and how they sit alongside your life overseas. Since everything's handled online, distance and time zones aren't an issue. Cross-border money can get tangled, and a big part of our job is helping you think it through calmly and make decisions you genuinely understand.

Who is not a good fit for Good Moneying?

We're probably not your people if you're after hot stock tips, quick trades, or someone promising big or guaranteed returns — that's not how we work, and the truth is, nobody can honestly promise those things. We're also not a great match if you'd rather hand everything over and never look at it again. Where we do fit well is with people who want to understand their own decisions and build something steady, with an adviser firmly on their side.

Are you SEBI-registered, and how can I verify it?

Yes. Good Moneying Wealth Planners is a SEBI Registered Investment Adviser, registration number INA000018744, and we're members of BASL, which supervises investment advisers. You can look us up on the SEBI website's list of registered advisers in a couple of minutes. And honestly, we'd rather you did — checking before you share anything personal is exactly the kind of careful step we'd encourage anyone to take with their money.

Let's See If We're a Good Fit

If what you've read resonates with you, the next step is a short, no-obligation conversation. We'll discuss your situation, answer your questions and see whether we're the right fit for each other.

No commitment. No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation.
