Fee-Only Financial Planning
Data sourced from SEC public records (and other sources when available). Refreshed weekly • Updated today.
About
The firm provides fee-only financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individual clients, including a significant number of high-net-worth households. Services include retirement and estate-planning guidance, written financial plans, and implementation assistance focused on mutual fund-based portfolios.
Its investment approach emphasizes low-cost no-load mutual funds, including index and target-date funds, and follows a buy-and-hold allocation strategy across stocks, bonds and cash. The firm takes an educational approach with questionnaires and written summaries to tailor advice to each client’s life stage and goals, and it will manage accounts on a discretionary basis when engaged to do so.
Noteworthy features include a long operating history and a principal with advanced business and CFP credentials, and a small client roster supporting a relatively large asset base per client compared with many independent peers, suggesting a focus on wealthier households. The firm operates without soft-dollar arrangements or wrap programs, bills clients directly rather than deducting advisory fees from custody accounts, and does not vote client proxies.

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
