CFP®-certified, college savings (529s, UTMA, etc.) financial advisors in Red Wing, MN

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 tax situation.

CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, including education savings strategies.

  • Account type guidance. Ask which savings vehicles they recommend and why, considering your family's timeline and financial goals.
  • Financial aid impact. Confirm how they factor in college savings when estimating your child's eligibility for need-based aid.
  • Tax implications. Look for advice on how contributions and withdrawals affect your taxes, especially given Minnesota's tax environment.
  • Coordination with overall plan. Ensure they integrate college savings with your broader financial goals, not just treat it as a standalone task.

Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

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.

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.
