About
FWJ Planning LLC provides fee-only financial planning services to U.S. persons, households, and small businesses, delivering project-based and comprehensive plans as well as ongoing check‑in and digital‑access options. The firm explicitly does not provide investment management, does not accept custody of client funds, and does not participate in wrap fee programs.
When performing investment analysis as part of a financial plan, the firm uses a mix of fundamental, technical, cyclical, and charting methods alongside modern portfolio theory and typically recommends passive, low‑cost funds for client-implemented portfolios. Clients implement any investment recommendations through broker‑dealers or custodians of their choice, and engagements are structured as one‑time projects, periodic subscriptions, hourly work, or digital access rather than as percentage‑of‑assets fees.
The firm’s operating model is modest in scale and unusually planning‑focused for an independent adviser, foregoing portfolio management and AUM billing that most peers offer, and its principal concurrently operates a separate tax services business and allocates a portion of time to tax planning and preparation. The principal also holds professional credentials relevant to planning and tax work (CFP®, Enrolled Agent, and Certified Student Loan Planner), which informs the firm’s integrated planning and tax coordination services.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
