Logan Davis Palmitier

I've spent nearly 15 years working with women, families, and small business owners who know there's something more they could be doing with their money—they just need help figuring out what that is. ‍ Think of me as your Personal CFO—someone who oversees your entire financial life so you can focus on living it. I’m uniquely qualified as a Certified Divorce Financial Advisor, mediator, businesswomen and mom. I understand complex family dynamics, the impact money can have on relationships. Whether you’re in a phase of life that’s good, bad or ugly, I know the importance of having a trusted confidant when navigating uncharted waters. ‍ Here's what I love: watching clients move from feeling overwhelmed to having a clear path forward. Seeing them ask deeper questions as we work together. Helping them pay less in taxes, efficiently fund their dreams, and leave a legacy that matters. Those outcomes don't happen by accident—they happen when we take the time to understand what really matters to you. ‍ I've played viola most of my life, and music taught me how to listen—really listen—and how every detail matters when you're building something meaningful. I bring that same attention and care to financial planning. Every client is different. Every situation deserves thought and intention. ‍ When I'm not working with clients, I'm performing with Des Moines ensembles, raising three boys with my husband Kyle in Urbandale.

Hello, I am Ben. I started Simplified Planning and Investments out of a deep desire to make a real difference in people’s lives. For nearly a decade, I have had the privilege of guiding individuals and families through some of their most important financial decisions. Over time, I realized my greatest fulfillment comes from building meaningful relationships, truly understanding people’s stories, and helping them find peace of mind in areas that often cause stress and uncertainty. This led me to create a firm centered on people first - where financial planning is about more than money; it’s about impact, purpose, and simplicity. At Simplified Planning, everything begins with a passion for people. This firm was built on the belief that the foundation of finacial planning is built on relationships, trust, and helping others live with greater peace and purpose. Our purpose is to equip you to make confident financial decisions with clarity and ease. Every story is unique, and so is every financial plan. Exceptional financial planning starts with listening and understanding. That’s why we take a holistic, relationship-driven approach - thoughtfully blending overarching strategies with the important details that matter most to you. Because we work on a fee-only basis, our only focus is providing sound advice that puts your best interests first. By viewing your financial life as an integrated system - cash flow, investments, taxes, insurance, retirement, and estate considerations - we ensure each piece works together seamlessly, so your money serves your goals and values. Our aim is to simplify complexity, bring clarity to uncertainty, and provide a roadmap that balances today’s priorities with tomorrow’s vision. Outside of work, my life is centered around my family. We love traveling and discovering new places together. I stay connected to my community through commitments to my church, volunteering, and teaching personal finance. I’m also a high school football official, a passionate sports fan, and yes - one of those lawn guys. I look forward to connecting, understanding your story, and helping you create a financial life that reflects both your goals and your values - bringing clarity, confidence, and meaning every step of the way.
