About

Avantax Planning Partners, Inc. provides portfolio management, financial planning, and a managed retirement plan platform to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations and businesses. The firm delivers these services primarily through a network of CPA firms and registered Advisor Representatives and, as of December 31, 2025, reported roughly $7.57 billion in assets under management across about 164 advisors and some 7,500 clients.

Investment management is delivered largely through firm‑designed style allocation models (SAMs) overseen by an investment advisory committee chaired by the chief investment officer; clients complete an investment policy statement and most accounts are managed on a discretionary basis with periodic rebalancing. The firm offers tax‑intelligent (tax‑overlay) strategies, centralized trading and annual account reviews, and relies on Charles Schwab for managed retail accounts and Fidelity for its Retirement Plan Services platform.

Distinctive features include a cluster of uncommon affiliations and services for a multi‑team adviser: ties to an affiliated broker‑dealer (Cetera Wealth Services) and affiliated investment adviser (Cetera Investment Advisers), access to pension consulting via Cetera Retirement Plan Specialists, an affiliated trust company (Cetera Trust Company, N.A.), and affiliated insurance agencies. Avantax also offers a collateralized non‑purpose loan program available through Schwab and Goldman Sachs Bank USA and emphasizes CPA‑sourced referrals; these arrangements affect product access and create potential conflicts of interest (custodial benefits, revenue sharing and referral compensation) that the firm discloses for client consideration.

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
