About
Ellis Financial Planning provides personalized full-service financial planning and asset management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, families, family offices, trusts, estates, private foundations and retirement plans. The firm requires new clients to receive both planning and asset management and delivers advice on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases.
The firm follows a planning‑first process—“Understand You,” “Design Your Plan,” “Get You Going,” and “Help You Stay on Track”—using the financial plan to set portfolio asset allocation and ongoing investment strategy. Ellis emphasizes diversified, allocation‑driven portfolios rather than attempting to “beat the market,” and typically implements strategies using registered mutual funds and ETFs while also employing equities, fixed income, REITs, private/alternative funds and structured notes when appropriate; it may also recommend external managers for portions of client assets.
Ellis operates as a small advisor team that serves roughly 330 clients with four advisors, a client‑to‑advisor load that is materially higher than most peer team firms. The firm offers tiered service programs (Summit, Complete, Enhanced, Classic), coordinates with clients’ other professionals, conducts at least annual reviews, and uses an institutional custodial platform to support trading, reporting and operational needs.

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
