About

Pay It Forward Financial Planning, LLC provides investment management, ongoing financial planning, and tax return preparation for individuals and high-net-worth individuals, generally working with accounts that meet a $500,000 minimum. The firm is fee-only and reports managing both discretionary assets (about $4.57 million) and non-discretionary assets (about $11.23 million).

The adviser develops personalized investment policies and asset allocations anchored in Modern Portfolio Theory, using a blend of passive and active funds and typically implementing long-term holdings while allowing discretionary authority and client‑imposed restrictions. Rather than charging a percentage of assets under management, the firm uses a fixed monthly advisory fee schedule for investment management and separate recurring fixed fees for ongoing planning and tax services.

Noteworthy features relative to peers include the absence of percentage‑of‑AUM fees and the provision of in‑house tax return preparation by supervised persons, both of which are less common among independent advisory firms. The firm was founded in 2025 and maintains a small client roster (six clients) alongside meaningful AUM, suggesting focused, customized engagements rather than a high‑volume retail practice.

Pay It Forward Financial Planning, LLC

Non-profit professionals and individuals that donate to non-profit organizations are a key component to improving our communities, both locally and nationally. I’ve seen the impact on our communities firsthand because of the work of my wife, my siblings, my father, and my sister-in-law, all of whom work for various non-profit organizations. Their efforts to better the lives of those around them motivated me to launch a financial planning firm dedicated to serving them, and other community-centric individuals. Our approach is to not only work with individuals and families on developing a path for financial security, but to also be a resource to provide financial clarity. Often, we think of financial planning as maximizing investment returns, or developing strategies to minimize the taxes we owe. While important, any financial plan or strategy lacks impact unless we align the plan and the financial strategies to what is truly important to YOU. Financial planning is about more than numbers – it’s about a financial planner working in lockstep with the client to identify and create a life that aligns with the client’s values, aspirations, and ideal financial future. Prior to becoming a client, we will work with prospective clients to identify and elaborate on what is important to them, and how we can maximize their money and resources to align with their values. From there, the planning process can begin, and we can set out on the path of maximizing today, while also planning for tomorrow.

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
