About
Helm Financial Planning provides investment management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts and estates. Services include customized portfolio construction using low‑cost mutual funds and ETFs, selective use of individual securities and options, and access to third‑party managers and alternative strategies.
The firm follows a primarily long‑term, diversification‑focused approach grounded in modern portfolio theory and fundamental analysis, with technical inputs used as needed for market timing and rebalancing. Portfolios are tailored to each client’s objectives, tax considerations and liquidity needs, formalized in investment policy statements and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Helm manages a relatively large amount of client assets given its client base and routinely works with high‑net‑worth and trust accounts, which supports recommending specialized outside managers (including private equity, private credit, real estate and hedge fund strategies) when appropriate. The advisor operates on a fee‑only basis, participates in an institutional custody and platform relationship for operational support, and is led by a principal holding both CFA and CFP credentials.

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
