About
Outside The Box Financial Planning, LLC serves individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and business entities by offering comprehensive financial planning, portfolio management, and coordination with third‑party investment managers. The firm also provides consulting for business owners and employee benefits, and it works with employer‑sponsored retirement arrangements such as pension and profit‑sharing plans.
The firm emphasizes a passive, index‑based investment approach, building portfolios from mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds to match client‑specific investment policy statements and risk tolerances. Ongoing services include continuous account supervision, periodic reviews, and integrated planning across cash flow, retirement, tax, insurance, and estate issues.
Noteworthy differences from many small independent advisers include a focus on business and retirement‑plan clients and the principal’s life and health insurance licensure, though the firm does not sell insurance products through the advisory practice. The firm recently implemented a tiered, cliff‑based AUM billing schedule and uses both traditional custodial relationships and an automated, ETF‑only platform for model‑driven portfolio implementation, which can constrain customization to ETF selections unless investments outside the platform are recommended.

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
