About
Dollars & Sense Tax & Financial Planning Services focuses primarily on tax planning and preparation for individuals, small businesses, partnerships, corporations, estates, and trusts, and offers fee-only financial planning and investment advice in support of those tax services. Investment advice is limited to recommending no‑load mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds rather than providing ongoing asset management.
The adviser emphasizes long-term buy‑and‑hold strategies and asset allocation, drawing on third‑party research sources (for example, Morningstar) and recommending custodians such as Vanguard, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, Parnassus, and Charles Schwab. Recommendations are framed around clients’ time horizons and investment tax structures, and clients are encouraged to play an active, self-directed role in managing their accounts.
What distinguishes the firm is its tax-first model: the principal is an Enrolled Agent, CFP® certificant, and Accredited Tax Advisor with decades of tax practice, so investment work is delivered as an adjunct to tax and planning engagements rather than as primary AUM management. The firm also operates on a fee-only basis without charging percentage‑of‑assets (AUM) fees and does not take custody or discretionary authority over client assets, leaving execution and custodial arrangements to third‑party brokers.

Forms ADV
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
