CFP®-certified, college savings (529s, UTMA, etc.) financial advisors in Green Bay, WI
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.
When you're setting aside money for college through plans like 529s or UTMA accounts, you want an advisor who understands how to balance growth potential with your timeline and risk comfort. A common mistake is focusing only on investment returns without considering how financial aid rules or tax benefits affect your savings.
- Tax implications. Confirm how they navigate state tax benefits and federal tax rules specific to college savings plans.
- Financial aid impact. Ask how your savings strategy might influence eligibility for need-based aid.
- Plan flexibility. Check if they discuss options for changing beneficiaries or rolling over funds if plans change.
- Long-term coordination. See if they integrate college savings with your broader financial goals, not just as a standalone task.
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
