CFP®-certified, college savings (529s, UTMA, etc.) financial advisors in Greeley, CO
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
Saving for college often starts when you want to make the most of tax-advantaged accounts like 529 plans or UTMA custodial accounts. Without a clear plan, you might miss out on how these accounts affect your financial aid eligibility or future tax bills. CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, including education savings strategies.
- Account type guidance. Confirm which college savings accounts they recommend and why, considering your family's financial situation.
- Financial aid impact. Ask how they factor in savings plans' effects on your child's eligibility for need-based aid.
- Tax implications. Understand how they manage withdrawals and contributions to minimize taxes on earnings.
- Investment approach. Check if they adjust investment risk as your child gets closer to college age.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

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
