Even when you’ve done the research and know where you want to go, committing to a course can feel daunting. As a CFP®, I’m here to minimize the risks involved in major life decisions like stepping away from the workforce or becoming a digital nomad. My expertise lies in turning complexity into a pragmatic plan that stands up under scrutiny. Your time is valuable–when we work together, you can trust me to manage the details and keep our conversations focused on how you’re progressing.
For over 15 years, I’ve helped hundreds of clients take ownership of their financial futures and gain the clarity they need to move forward. I enjoy the challenge of navigating complex investment portfolios and cross-border compliance and tax strategies, particularly in Spain, Germany, and the UAE. As a flat fee, fee-only fiduciary, my sole motive is to act in your best interest. My services include:
Investment management Cash flow and budgeting FIRE and retirement planning Education planning for children Tax planning Small business planning Stock and executive compensation plans Cross-border and expat planning

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.
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
