About

Capital Planning, LLC provides wealth management, investment management, and financial planning and consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm reports managing about $617.7 million across roughly 289 client relationships and typically requires a $1 million minimum for investment management engagements.

The firm structures advice around a four‑phase wealth planning process and a seven‑step investment workflow, and implements portfolios through CPC Models, custom models, third‑party independent managers, and Reporting Plus accounts. Capital Planning uses third‑party platforms (notably Envestnet) for reporting, trading, and overlay services and offers specialized strategies such as direct indexing (via a Goldman Sachs sub‑adviser), private fund recommendations, and variable annuity sub‑account management.

Compared with many team‑model firms, Capital Planning routinely offers educational seminars and webinars on topics like retirement planning, benefits, estate planning, and charitable giving, and provides a Reporting Plus service to consolidate “held‑away” assets for centralized monitoring. The brochure also discloses use of AI tools under an internal AI policy and detailed platform arrangements (Envestnet and Nationwide) and fee treatment for direct indexing and private funds—features prospective clients may want to review for their operational and cost implications.

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
