About

Horizons Planning Corporation advises individual clients—including high‑net‑worth households—as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, partnerships and corporations. It provides investment management, financial planning, insurance recommendations and implementation coordination with outside specialists through its Financial Coaching & Wealth Management (FCWM) program and related services.

The firm bases portfolio construction on asset allocation principles derived from Modern Portfolio Theory and generally recommends pooled products (mutual funds, ETFs and variable annuities) rather than emphasizing individual securities, offering discretionary management for FCWM accounts and periodic reporting. Client engagements are menu‑driven, allowing clients to choose combinations of ongoing portfolio management, planning and education, and the firm works with custodians and third‑party vendors to implement recommendations.

Notable disclosures in the brochure include the firm’s practice of actively monitoring individual issues for potential placement into pooled products—a monitoring approach that can entail timing considerations—and its provision of advisory services to pooled and institutional vehicles. The brochure also states that several representatives provide tax preparation, small‑business accounting and pension consulting services, and it discloses a prior regulatory matter involving a principal along with recent material changes to firm policies.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
