About

Masters Tax & Financial Planning LLC serves high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, small businesses, nonprofit organizations and employer-sponsored retirement plans, generally working with households at or above the firm’s stated $500,000 relationship level. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, financial and retirement-income planning, tax-aware investment strategy coordinated with a client’s CPA, estate and charitable-giving coordination, divorce financial planning, and non-discretionary advice for employer retirement-plan accounts.

The firm’s investment approach relies primarily on fundamental analysis of individual U.S. companies and implements a core long‑term large‑cap equity strategy using individual stocks and ETFs, with tailored cash allocations for clients taking systematic withdrawals. It documents client objectives in an Investment Policy Statement, coordinates tax and planning work with accounting professionals, and employs third‑party technology for held‑away employer plan accounts and for billing and performance reporting.

Noteworthy distinctions include an operational connection to an affiliated CPA practice — one owner operates a separate tax and accounting firm and spends most of their time on that practice, and the firm may refer clients to those tax services under separate engagement terms. A firm principal holds the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst credential and offers divorce financial planning; the firm also no longer sells insurance and does not maintain licensed insurance agents, and its client base is concentrated among high‑net‑worth households rather than non‑HNW individual clients.

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
