About
Cove Financial Planning provides portfolio management and comprehensive financial planning services to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, addressing retirement, tax planning, estate planning, business planning, cash‑flow and college‑savings needs. The firm also assists clients in selecting and monitoring third‑party/outside managers and offers both in‑house managed portfolios and the option to use TAMP platforms.
The firm primarily implements a passive investment approach using low‑cost index mutual funds and ETFs, while applying fundamental analysis when conducting detailed investment analyses or evaluating outside managers. Client engagements begin with a 60–90 minute discovery meeting, deliver a 10–20 page personalized financial plan, and include periodic reviews (at least annually) with discretionary implementation available.
Several operational features distinguish the firm from many peers: it manages roughly $99 million for about 60 clients while maintaining multi‑state registrations and multiple offices, resulting in relatively high AUM per client for a small independent adviser. The firm also bundles comprehensive planning into its AUM fee with a meaningful minimum quarterly charge, relies on both an automated advisor platform and a traditional custodian (accepting platform support services), and maintains practices such as limited custody only for fee withdrawal and not providing written investment reports to advisory clients.

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
