Blue Bell, PA

Modern Wealth LLC

Hi, I'm Alan. I started Modern Wealth in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, after living the moment my clients now plan for. My father ran a solo dental practice that carried our whole family, and when he got sick I stepped in to keep the doors open, then led the sale so my mother would be okay. I know firsthand how much rides on decisions made at the worst possible time, and how few advisors are built to help. So I built the opposite: an independent, fee-only firm that earns nothing but the fee you pay me. No commissions, no quotas, no hidden agenda. I'm a Penn State finance grad with more than 15 years in this work and a stack of credentials I actually use: Certified Financial Planner™ professional (CFP®), Certified Private Wealth Advisor® professional (CPWA®), Certified Value Growth Advisor® (CVGA®), Certified Exit Planning Advisor® (CEPA®), and Registered Life Planner® (RLP®). Along the way I've been named a US Top 100 Financial Advisor and a Philadelphia Five Star Wealth Manager. I hold the whole picture on one page. In plain English, I help you grow what your business is worth, plan a smart exit, and turn it into a life you actually want, not just a bigger account balance. When I'm not doing that, you'll find me on an autocross course in my Miata, running the same clean line I bring to planning: look far ahead, stay smooth, don't chase the hero lap. Otherwise I'm cheering (and suffering) for Philly sports, or home in Blue Bell with my wife Jamie, our daughter Joey, and our goldendoodle, Enzo, the reason any of this matters. Money is a tool for building a life, and the life is the point. I'd genuinely like to hear your story.

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
