Kelos Wealth Planning, LLC

I'm Julie Kist, CFP®, founder of Kelos Wealth Planning. I help people make smarter financial decisions throughout their working years and into retirement through planning-first advice that integrates tax strategy into every stage of life. Rather than treating investments, taxes, retirement income, and estate planning as separate conversations, I help clients understand how every decision affects the next, so every piece of the plan works together—not in isolation. My clients include people preparing for retirement, already living in retirement, or navigating significant life transitions such as the loss of a spouse, divorce, or a career change. I also work with many women stepping into the role of primary financial decision-maker, often for the first time. Whether we're optimizing where and how you save today or making decisions about Social Security, Roth conversions, Medicare, and retirement income, the goal is the same: helping you make confident decisions with a clear understanding of your full financial picture. I've spent more than 25 years in financial services across institutional consulting and personal financial planning, with one guiding belief: financial planning changes lives when it's proactive, personal, and purposeful. As a fee-only fiduciary, I'm compensated only by my clients, so my advice is never influenced by commissions or product sales. At Kelos, you'll always work directly with me in an ongoing relationship built on thoughtful planning, proactive communication, and attention to the details that matter most.

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
