Human Capital Wealth Management

Human Capital Wealth Management is a fee-only fiduciary firm for people who have worked hard, saved well, and want to know they are going to be okay. Most of my clients are at or near retirement, or building hard toward it. What they share is that they are done being sold to. As a fee-only fiduciary, I do not sell products and I do not earn commissions. You pay me directly, so I only ever sit on your side of the table. My focus is retirement income, tax strategy, and protecting the people you love, including steady guidance through the hardest transitions, like divorce in retirement or the loss of a spouse. That means turning what you have built into a dependable paycheck, keeping more of your money out of the IRS's hands through smart Roth conversion and tax planning, and investing with discipline using a low-cost, evidence-based approach instead of guesswork or hot tips. I keep my practice small on purpose, so when you call, you get me. If you have ever left a big-name advisor feeling like a number, this is the opposite of that. You built the wealth. My job is to help you keep it, grow it wisely, and enjoy it.

CFP®

WealthGuides LLC

I'm a fiduciary & CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER living in Indianapolis, Indiana but serving clients nationwide. For years I've helped individuals and families plan for retirement and other imporant financial decisions. In college, I studied economics with a concentration in finance. After college, I worked for large wealth management firm in Indiana and then a boutique financial advising office specializing in retirement planning. That firm was later acquired and after a few years working for the acquiring firm I left to start WealthGuides. As an advisor I've worked with clients age 22 to 92. While I've worked with a wide range of people, I've always found my passion was with working with people to create a plan for retirement. As an advisor I provide guidance to my clients on taxes, their investment portfolios, estate planning, & charitable giving amongst others areas. I show people where they can save on taxes and I give clarity and strategies for how my clients can maximize the potential for what they can spend on themselves and give to others. On the personal side I'm a runner, a reader, a cat dad, and a traveler. I also enjoy sipping on a nice glass of wine or whiskey.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
