About
Clarity Financial Planning serves middle‑ and upper‑middle‑income individuals and families and maintains a small client roster without formal asset minimums. The firm provides fee‑only, comprehensive financial planning that integrates investment advice with tax planning, retirement and estate reviews, insurance analysis, cash‑flow management, and small‑business planning.
Portfolios and recommendations are structured around each client’s tax situation, risk tolerance and goals, but the firm generally does not exercise discretionary portfolio management; implementation of transactions requires client approval (often via a limited power of attorney) and Clarity does not take custody of client assets. Investment advice emphasizes low‑cost vehicles such as no‑load mutual funds and ETFs, with a low‑turnover, individualized asset allocation process.
What is atypical for an independent solo advisor is that Clarity does not charge percentage‑of‑AUM fees and instead uses fixed retainer arrangements, along with shorter engagements like limited retainers and 90‑minute reviews. The principal holds both CFP and CFA credentials, the initial engagement involves an intensive multi‑meeting planning process, and the firm discloses a policy against accepting commissions, referral fees or performance‑based compensation.

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
