About

Laurel Wealth Planning is a fee‑only advisory firm that serves individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations. The six‑adviser team manages approximately $453.6 million for roughly 177 clients and offers ongoing wealth management, discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, and standalone or hourly financial planning engagements.

The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis and documents client goals in individualized investment policies overseen by an Investment Committee that meets periodically. Portfolios may include individual equities, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and externally managed strategies, and the firm discloses use of option writing, spreading strategies, margin transactions and other derivative techniques as part of its investment toolset.

Compared with many peers, Laurel discloses marketing practices that include use of client testimonials and promotion of third‑party ratings, and it participates in custodial institutional programs that provide the adviser with research, trading and practice‑management benefits. The firm also notes a long operating history and in‑house credentials (including CPA/PFS and multiple CFP professionals), offers wrap fee program participation, and may delegate portions of asset management to third‑party managers.

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.

Find your advisor

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
