About
Blom & Howell Financial Planning serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, business entities, and retirement plans by offering comprehensive wealth management and portfolio management, standalone financial planning, retirement plan consulting, estate‑planning assistance, and recommendations of third‑party advisers. The firm delivers comprehensive wealth management through a firm‑sponsored wrap fee program and provides fixed‑fee or hourly planning engagements, with estate‑planning work available via a third‑party digital service.
The firm customizes asset allocations across stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and REITs and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary management, rebalancing portfolios periodically to align with clients’ objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and time horizon. Some service providers used by the firm employ artificial intelligence and machine‑learning components; the firm says it performs periodic due diligence of vendors to mitigate data accuracy and security risks.
Distinctive features noted in the brochure include an unusually high client‑to‑advisor ratio (more than 200 clients per advisor), and the firm’s role as sponsor and portfolio manager of its own wrap fee program. The firm’s investment adviser representatives are licensed insurance agents who may earn commissions on insurance sales and the brochure discloses and describes how those potential conflicts are managed.

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.
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
