A complete list of active advisors currently associated with BY Design Financial Planning

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at BY Design Financial Planning or one who fits your needs even better.

By Design Financial Planning advises individual and high-net-worth clients and provides investment management alongside both ongoing and project-based financial planning covering retirement, college savings, estate, tax, insurance, and business planning topics. The firm is fee-only and delivers portfolio management across common asset types such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and cash equivalents. The firm’s investment approach is goal- and allocation-driven, grounded in modern portfolio theory and often implemented with passive funds, while also accommodating socially responsible (ESG) preferences and client-imposed restrictions. It acts as a fiduciary, can manage accounts on a discretionary basis when engaged to do so, and performs periodic reviews and plan updates. Noteworthy aspects include the capability to advise on “held-away” accounts (for example employer retirement plans, 529s, and variable annuities) via a third-party order-management link that permits allocation changes without transferring custody, and the use of a third-party manager to implement a structured box-spread options strategy intended to generate collateral for securities-backed lending solutions. The firm also discloses principals’ outside business activities (software consulting and residential rental ownership) and offers both subscription-style ongoing planning and limited-scope project engagements.

Find your advisor

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.
