About

Sensible Money provides ongoing financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals, their trusts and estates, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and charitable organizations, with an emphasis on clients transitioning into or already in retirement. Services are delivered through an integrated planning-and-implementation model the firm calls the Juicing® Experience, which structures plan design, investment implementation, and ongoing adjustments.

The firm builds diversified portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, and fixed‑income instruments and applies liability‑driven investing techniques to align income needs with withdrawals and bond ladders. Sensible Money commonly engages Independent Managers—primarily Asset Dedication—to implement strategies, manages accounts on a discretionary basis, and tailors trading and tax considerations at the household level while recommending custodians such as Schwab and Fidelity.

Compared with many peer team firms, Sensible Money maintains a multi-office presence and its public materials include client testimonials and references to third‑party ratings, practices that are less common among similar advisers. The brochure also highlights governance connections (the founder’s participation on a Schwab advisory board), the firm’s willingness to advise on held‑away products like annuities and variable life insurance, and its use of Independent Managers for operational support and portfolio rebalancing.

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
