Mindi Financial

Mindi Financial works with individuals, families, solo entrepreneurs and small business owners. I believe that financial planning is is a long-term iterative process and so we only offer one service - ongoing comprehensive financial planning with investment management - for a simple transparent fee. I work with clients who see their money as a tool to achieve greater independence and live life on their own terms, not as a high score meant to be maximized. My first concern is always learning what the money is for. Next, I work with my clients to build financial resilience, identify tax planning opportunities and invest their assets in risk-managed diversified portfolios. As a CFA charterholder and CFP® practitioner with two decades experience in investments, investment management is a core competency of mine. Mindi offers investment management that can be customized for your specific situation and preferences, including strategies for concentrated stock positions and large unrealized gains, while avoiding unexpected tax consequences. I am open to working with clients at all stages in their financial lives but I specialize in working with freelance and entrepreneurial clients. I help freelancers, entrepreneurs and small business owners with retirement plans, cash-flow planning and insurance reviews so they can focus more on their business than managing their finances.

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
