About
Financial Excavation is a fee-only independent advisory firm that provides comprehensive financial planning to individuals and high-net-worth individuals through both ongoing and project-based engagements. Typical planning topics include business planning, cash flow and debt management, college savings, retirement planning, estate and tax planning, insurance reviews, and investment analysis.
The firm delivers tailored written financial plans and recommendations informed by fundamental analysis and modern portfolio theory, but does not provide discretionary investment management or custody of client assets; clients are responsible for implementing investment recommendations. Advisors work with clients to identify risk tolerance, time horizon, and goals, accommodate reasonable client-imposed restrictions, and perform periodic reviews or updates as part of ongoing engagements.
Noteworthy differences from many peers include an active educational offering—public and organizational seminars and the Financial Excavator workshops (virtual or in-person) on topics such as budgeting, debt management, investing basics, and retirement options—and an intentionally small, newly formed practice led by a sole principal with a limited client base. The firm is explicitly fee-only (no commissions or percentage-of-AUM fees), discloses an unrelated outside business activity, and maintains an online presence including LinkedIn and a YouTube channel.

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
