A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Contemporary Planning Alternatives

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Contemporary Planning Alternatives or one who fits your needs even better.

The firm provides personalized, confidential investment management and financial planning–related advice to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small businesses. Services typically include investment supervision, cash‑flow and retirement planning, education funding support, and referrals to legal or tax professionals. The investment approach is discretionary and built around a strategic asset allocation with a core‑and‑satellite construct: a generally income‑oriented core for stability and satellite positions that may use shorter‑term trading and hedging (including inverse or specialized ETFs) to seek incremental return or risk management. Portfolio implementation emphasizes no‑load/low‑load mutual funds, ETFs and direct equity or bond trades executed through a national custodian, with block and limit orders used to manage execution. Noteworthy characteristics include a long operating history (since 1996) and operation as a fee‑only sole proprietorship that prefers—without imposing—a $250,000 account size, and the cessation of insurance product sales in recent years. The adviser handles trading directly and may invest alongside clients, uses standing letters of authorization for transfers, and generally brings on new clients primarily by referral, practices that may shape client onboarding and conflicts‑of‑interest considerations.

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.
