The audit

What we look at.

Three areas. One short memo, written to be read next to your statements.

Fees

Every fee in the relationship, added up. Advisory fees, fund costs, cash treatment, hidden commissions.

Holdings

What you own versus what you think you own. Concentration, overlap, and how positions sit across your accounts.

Cash

How idle cash and short-term reserves are handled. Sweep rates, alternatives, and the cost of cash sitting still.

Process

Four steps, start to finish.

Quiet and self-contained. We never contact your advisor. What you share stays with us.

Step

First call

A short call to see if the audit makes sense.

Step

Document review

We read your statements, fee schedules, and advisory agreement in confidence.

Step

Findings memo

A short, plain-English memo, written to be read alongside your statements.

Step

Closing call

We walk through the memo. Then the engagement ends.

About
Chase Namba, Principal of Basis Audit
Chase Namba
Principal · Basis Audit

Chase spent years inside the financial industry. He watched how the small details of a portfolio — the fees, the cash, the holdings inside the holdings — rarely show up on a client’s statement.

He started Basis Audit to offer an outside read of those details. He is based in Southern California.

Scope: Chase is a California-licensed insurance producer (#4159076). He is studying for the Series 65 exam. He is not yet registered as an investment adviser representative. Basis Audit is not yet open. Nothing on this site is investment, legal, or tax advice.
Frequently asked

Six questions worth answering up front.

Are you a financial advisor?

Not yet. I am a California-licensed insurance producer (license #4159076). I am studying for the Series 65 exam. After that I plan to register as an Investment Adviser Representative.

This site describes the audit I plan to offer once that registration is in place. It is not an offer of advisory services.

Why a waitlist?

Because the door isn’t open yet. Opening it before registration would be the kind of thing this audit is built to help clients avoid.

What does the engagement look like?

A short call, a confidential document review, a written memo, and a closing call. The memo describes what we found. It does not tell you what to do. No ongoing relationship. No product sale. No referral arrangement.

Who is the service for?

People and families with a wealth-management relationship of real size. They want a quiet second look at how it’s built — not to leave their advisor, but to understand it on their own terms.

What does it cost?

One flat fee, published at launch. No asset-based fee. No tiering. No contingency on what we find.

How is my information handled?

The waitlist captures your email and nothing else. It is not sold or rented. You get one note at launch, and you can leave the list any time. At launch, documents are handled in confidence under a written engagement letter.

Waitlist

Be the first to know when we open.

One note when the door opens. Nothing before. Nothing after.
