About
Free State Financial Planning LLC provides fee‑only financial planning services to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, and corporations or other businesses through engagements such as comprehensive plans, retirement‑readiness plans, DIY support, annual subscriptions, and hourly work. The firm explicitly does not offer discretionary investment management or custody; clients are responsible for implementing plan recommendations.
The firm’s investment guidance is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and favors passive allocations using low‑cost ETFs and no‑load mutual funds, with recommendations delivered as educational resources for self‑directed investors. Deliverables include written or electronic financial plans, an online planning portal, one month of post‑delivery support, and an option for ongoing annual planning access.
What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its fee structure and service boundary: it charges fixed, hourly, and subscription planning fees rather than percentage‑of‑AUM fees and does not manage or custody client assets. Despite its small, state‑registered practice, the firm serves business and plan‑level clients and emphasizes employee benefits and retirement planning support, and it leverages the principal’s prior senior institutional experience when advising clients who may seek outside investment managers.

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.
