Retirement Planning Consultants Inc
Data sourced from SEC public records (and other sources when available). Refreshed weekly • Updated today.
About
The firm provides investment management and financial planning for individuals and their retirement accounts, including IRAs, other tax‑deferred accounts, 401(k) plans, corporate accounts and 529 college‑savings plans. In addition to managed portfolios, the firm offers life insurance and annuity products and facilitates mutual fund investments for 529 accounts.
The firm develops diversified asset allocations based on clients’ time horizons and risk tolerance, combining equities and fixed income with a heavy use of exchange‑traded funds and both fundamental and technical analysis. Most client accounts are managed on a discretionary basis through third‑party custodians (commonly Schwab), and the adviser does not use margin or direct options trading.
Distinctive features include the adviser’s licensed CPA background and an affiliated tax and consulting practice, and the firm’s continued sale of insurance and annuity products for which it may receive commissions or trailing compensation — a practice the brochure discloses as a potential conflict and for which clients may elect other purchase routes. The firm also works with corporate accounts and 529/401(k) plans and reports that client referrals are its sole source of new business; the principal splits time between advisory work and a seasonal tax practice.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
