About

Align Financial Planning is a fee-only independent advisory firm that works with individuals (including high-net-worth clients), charitable organizations, corporations, and employer retirement plans. The firm provides investment management, both ongoing and project-based financial planning, and retirement plan consulting and management.

The firm develops individualized investment policies and asset-allocation targets for clients, using a mix of passive and active strategies and techniques described in its brochure (including fundamental, technical, and Modern Portfolio Theory approaches), and typically manages discretionary accounts on behalf of clients. Align also offers socially conscious investing options on request and conducts educational seminars and speaking engagements that are explicitly framed as general, non-individualized education.

Notable features for a firm of this size include the provision of educational seminars and speaking engagements (a relatively uncommon service among independent advisers), the availability of optional tax-preparation services through a third-party provider (Uprise/Ontrail), and the capability to serve as a retirement plan investment manager under ERISA for plan sponsors. The firm’s principal has a disclosed outside business operating a bed-and-breakfast that the brochure says occupies roughly a quarter of their time.

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.

Find your advisor

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
