Zeke A

CFP®

Huntsville, AL

Planalto Financial

I’m Zeke Anders, and I founded Planalto Financial to offer a higher level of planning. I’ve always been passionate about investing and personal finance, and I eventually left corporate America to become a financial planner. I am a CFP professional with over five years of formal experience, but I’m an avid learner and student of market history and current research. My goal is to provide evidence-based, objective advice to help clients find fulfillment through their wealth. Financial planning is often about more than just math, it is about utilizing the assets you spent a career accumulating to create meaning and purpose in retirement. Planalto Financial is open to all, but my specialty is working with Brazilian-American families. While I am from Alabama, my wife is from Brazil originally, and we currently live in Brasilia, Brazil with our two daughters. We understand that cross-border families have specific opportunities and challenges such as owning assets in multiple countries, additional tax and reporting requirements, and higher travel and family support budgets. If this sounds like you, Planalto Financial is here to help. Pode contar comigo. Planalto offers flat-fee hourly, planning-only, or comprehensive planning and investment management services. I chose flat-fee services to provide transparency and simplify, whereas assets-under-management fees can be complicated (is it beginning, end, or the average asset values? In advance or in arrears?). In addition, I do not receive commissions for any product sales.

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
