About David Barfield, CFP®
Datapoint Financial Planning offers hourly financial advice to individuals, families, and small businesses. Our clients come from all walks of life with varying levels of wealth, income, and investment knowledge.We do not manage assets, but we do provide specific investment advice that is tailored to your unique circumstances. We will partner with you on implementing your plan and investment strategy as much as you need while allowing you to maintain control of your investment accounts.
As a fee-only firm, we do not receive any compensation other than the hourly fees you pay us directly. We do not receive any kickbacks from other professionals or commissions from product purchases resulting from our recommendations. There are no hidden fees of any kind. You simply pay for the time you need, by the hour. We find that an hourly model is the most transparent and fair pricing model as it compensates for time spent working directly with you, the client, rather than a fee based on something arbitrary, like the size of your investment portfolio, your net worth, or your income. And there are no minimums. For instance, if your plan takes ten hours to complete, your bill is for ten hours, or if you just need 45 minutes on the phone to help you execute a backdoor Roth conversion, your bill will be for 45 minutes. It's just that simple.
Most of our clients work with us initially to complete a comprehensive financial plan touching on all areas of their personal finances, such as retirement planning, education planning, insurance, estate planning, and investments. Then they reach out when questions arise or circumstances change or for an annual review to make sure they remain on track to achieve their goals.

Wealthtender® is a trusted, independent financial directory and educational resource governed by our strict Editorial Policy, Integrity Standards, and Terms of Use. While we receive compensation from featured professionals (a natural conflict of interest), we always operate with integrity and transparency to earn your trust. Wealthtender is not a client of these providers. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
