About
Educated Financial Planning is a small, fee‑only registered investment adviser serving individual and high‑net‑worth clients; the firm manages roughly $6.6 million across 26 client accounts and offers integrated investment management alongside comprehensive, project‑based, and ongoing financial planning. Services span portfolio management (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs), retirement and estate planning, college‑savings and cash‑flow analysis, and referrals to third‑party professionals as needed.
The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory with an emphasis on strategic asset allocation and the use of low‑cost mutual funds and ETFs, and it implements model portfolios provided by a third‑party model manager or, when appropriate, outside managers. It provides discretionary portfolio management, accommodates client‑imposed restrictions, and offers socially responsible (ESG) options while favoring long‑term holding and periodic review.
Noteworthy for an independent adviser of its size, the firm discloses the use of endorsements and testimonials in its advertising and routinely provides educational seminars and retirement‑planning courses targeted to educators, along with a paid personal‑finance newsletter and social‑media content services (all disclosed as non‑advisory activities). The principal’s background in education and a student‑loan professional designation inform a distinct focus on educator retirement issues and student‑loan planning within the firm’s financial‑planning work.

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
