About

Discovery Wealth Planning serves individual and high-net-worth clients with continuous, tailored investment management and a range of financial planning services. Offerings described in the brochure include comprehensive ongoing planning, project-based and on-demand engagements, tax planning, and coordination with third-party tax preparation providers.

The firm primarily constructs diversified, passive portfolios using index mutual funds and ETFs, establishes long-term strategic asset allocations, and may implement tactical deviations within target ranges when market conditions warrant. Financial plans are delivered via planning software, accounts are reviewed quarterly, and the firm typically manages client accounts on a discretionary basis through a recommended custodian.

Notably, the firm does not charge percentage-of-assets-under-management fees; instead it uses fixed-fee, project-based, or hourly arrangements and in some cases bundles investment management with ongoing financial and tax planning rather than offering those services à la carte. As a single-advisor practice managing roughly $34 million for a very small client roster, the firm’s principal holds CFP and additional retirement- and tax-planning certifications, which inform its emphasis on retirement income and tax-aware planning.

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.

Find your advisor

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
