CFP®-certified, income planning financial advisors in Redmond, WA
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.
If you're approaching retirement or facing changes in your income sources, you need an income planning advisor who understands how to stretch your money over the years ahead. A common mistake is treating income planning as a simple budget exercise rather than a dynamic strategy that adapts to tax changes and spending needs.
- Tax-aware withdrawal sequencing. Ask how they plan withdrawals to minimize federal and Washington state capital gains taxes, not just income taxes.
- Longevity risk management. Confirm they consider how long your income needs might last, including unexpected expenses.
- Social Security timing. Check if they help decide when to claim benefits to maximize your lifetime income.
- Expense flexibility. See if they build plans that adjust spending based on market performance and personal priorities.
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
