About
Gunnell Financial Planning is a state-registered, fee‑only investment adviser that provides personalized financial planning and investment management to individuals as well as institutional and business clients such as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations. Services described in the brochure include comprehensive financial plans, portfolio management, retirement and estate planning, education funding, insurance review, and limited hourly consulting.
The firm’s investment approach centers on strategic asset allocation and global diversification, using research and software to design mixes of fixed income and equity asset classes with attention to correlation coefficients. Portfolios are implemented primarily with no‑load mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds on a buy‑and‑hold basis with regular rebalancing, and the firm accepts limited discretionary authority while performing periodic account reviews.
What is distinctive for an independent adviser of this size is the breadth of non‑retail clients and services documented in the brochure—beyond individuals the firm works with pension plans, charitable organizations and corporate entities and offers targeted services such as new business owner support and job‑changer planning. The firm also highlights tax‑related capabilities (the principal holds a master’s in taxation and is an enrolled agent) and the availability of tax and insurance services through an affiliated entity, which supplement its core planning and investment activities.

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
