About
Back Nine Financial Coaching LLC is a small, fee-only advisory practice that serves individuals and high‑net‑worth families and offers financial coaching, tailored financial planning, and investment consulting to individuals and closely held companies. The firm provides written plans and specific securities and asset‑allocation recommendations but does not manage client assets, accept custody, or exercise discretionary trading authority.
The firm’s investment guidance is built on evidence‑based, globally diversified asset‑allocation frameworks informed by fundamental analysis, macroeconomic indicators, and third‑party institutional research, with recommended rebalancing and tax‑optimization measures. It emphasizes risk education and behavioral change—using habit‑focused coaching and written action plans—and leaves implementation and trade execution to clients or their designated custodians or advisors.
Compared with typical investment‑manager firms, Back Nine charges negotiated annual or hourly advisory fees rather than a percentage‑of‑assets fee, an atypical pricing approach for its category. The firm is run by a single principal with prior chief‑investment‑officer experience and CFA and CFP credentials, and its combination of institutional asset‑allocation analysis with hands‑on coaching and consulting distinguishes its service mix while it maintains a non‑custodial, non‑discretionary model.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
