About
DABK Financial Planning Services provides fee-only financial planning and investment advice through one-time projects and ongoing engagements, addressing general or specific planning issues for clients who are typically hands-on in implementing recommendations. The brochure notes the adviser commonly helps clients select a suitable mix of mutual funds and ETFs and does not sell investment products or accept third‑party compensation.
The firm’s approach is non‑discretionary and research‑based: recommendations are delivered on an hourly or flat‑fee basis rather than as a percentage of assets under management, the adviser takes no custody or discretionary authority, and strategies avoid high‑frequency trading. For ongoing engagements, portfolios are reviewed at least twice annually while many client relationships remain project‑focused.
Distinctive for a solo independent adviser, the firm’s reported client base extends beyond individuals to a broad set of institutional and organizational types — including banking and thrift institutions, insurance companies, pension or profit‑sharing plans, corporate clients, charitable organizations, state or municipal entities, sovereign wealth funds and other investment advisers — while retaining primarily non‑discretionary, implementation‑by‑client advice. The adviser is a member of NAPFA, maintains a full‑time engineering career outside the practice, and does not accept performance‑based fees.

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.
