Independent, medicare planning financial advisors in Washington, DC
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 Medicare eligibility, you need an advisor who understands how to coordinate your benefits with your overall retirement plan. A common mistake is treating Medicare as a standalone decision without considering its impact on your other income sources and tax situation. Being independent means these advisors can offer guidance without ties to specific insurance products.
- FERS pension and TSP expertise. Confirm how they handle federal employee retirement benefits and Thrift Savings Plan rollovers, which are common in the D.C. area.
- Estate tax awareness. Ask how they navigate Washington, D.C.'s separate estate tax rules, which have a lower exemption than the federal level.
- Benefits coordination. Look for advisors who integrate Medicare choices with your Social Security and other retirement income streams to avoid costly gaps or overlaps.
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
