About
Curtis Financial Planning is a fee-only registered investment adviser serving individuals, families, and small-business owners, with an expressed specialty in the financial planning needs of women (including single women, women breadwinners, widowhood, divorce, inheritance, eldercare, and childcare). The firm provides comprehensive financial planning and investment management services that address cash flow, retirement, tax considerations, equity compensation, insurance, education funding, charitable goals, and related trust or estate matters.
The firm operates as a solo fiduciary adviser and emphasizes a strategic asset allocation approach, constructing globally diversified portfolios using exchange-traded funds, index funds, and select no-load actively managed mutual funds, with periodic rebalancing rather than frequent trading. Client relationships are typically discretionary, assets are held at independent custodians, clients receive periodic reports and reviews, and the firm may recommend or engage third-party sub‑advisers for specialist management when appropriate.
According to the brochure, the firm manages roughly $163.5 million for about 76 clients, a level of assets under management that is relatively large for a single-advisor independent practice. The brochure also indicates the firm offers educational seminars or workshops for clients and prospects—an uncommon service among similar independent solo advisers—and it adheres to a fee-only, NAPFA-aligned code of ethics while declining commissions and performance-based fees.

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
