About

Bridge the Gap Retirement Planners serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering investment management alongside ongoing and hourly financial planning. The two‑advisor firm manages roughly $49 million for about 32 clients and provides planning across retirement, estate, tax, business, cash‑flow, insurance, and risk‑management topics.

The firm delivers investment management exclusively through a bundled wrap fee program that covers advisory services, brokerage commissions, and most custodial charges; it does not manage non‑wrap accounts. Financial planning engagements are collaborative and use financial‑planning software and third‑party research to produce written plans and recommendations, which clients may implement themselves unless they also enroll in the wrap program.

Noteworthy for its size, the firm sponsors a wrap fee program—a relatively uncommon arrangement among similar supported firms—and discloses the potential conflicts that arise from a bundled asset‑based fee. It operates on a fee‑only basis, accommodates client‑imposed investment restrictions, and may waive planning fees for clients who engage its investment management services.

Bridge the Gap Retirement Planners

At Bridge The Gap we purposefully choose to work with a small number of clients per advisor, so each client’s situation can be served as a priority. This provides clients with a partnership that goes deeper into your financial planning needs. Our goals is to be the go to for all things financial, and to be your accountability partner in implementation. Many advisors draft clients a plan, but we work to together to live it. We have ongoing planning conversations with our clients around investments, risk management, liquidity analysis, estate planning, tax planning, tax efficiency, and goal fulfillment.

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
