A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Life Planning Solutions, LLC

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Life Planning Solutions, LLC or one who fits your needs even better.

Life Planning Solutions, LLC provides comprehensive financial planning and investment management primarily for individuals, trusts and small businesses. The firm operates as a fee-only advisory practice offering tailored comprehensive planning, asset management, retainer engagements and limited hourly advising services. The firm follows a strategic asset allocation approach with a core‑and‑satellite construction, using passively managed mutual funds and ETFs as core holdings and selectively adding bonds or active funds where appropriate; portfolios are generally managed on a discretionary basis and documented with an Investment Policy Statement. Custody and trade execution are arranged through Charles Schwab, and the firm emphasizes global diversification and ongoing portfolio monitoring. Compared with many solo independent advisers, Life Planning Solutions is a small practice managing clients with relatively high account minimums and discrete retainer offerings (retainer clients are typically in the $2–5 million net worth range), and the principal brings dual professional credentials (CPA/PFS and CFP) and an elevated continuing‑education standard. Although the brochure states the firm is fee‑only and not currently affiliated with broker‑dealers or other advisers, it also discloses prior registered‑representative experience for the principal and identifies Charles Schwab as the custodian and broker‑dealer of record, a mix of elements that is less common among independent advisors.

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
