About
Sentinel Financial Planning serves individuals, families and high‑net‑worth clients, managing roughly $5.15 million across a small client base. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management alongside a full suite of financial planning services, including retirement planning, tax and estate planning, college savings, business planning, and insurance reviews.
The firm develops individualized investment policy statements and implements portfolios using a mix of approaches — fundamental analysis plus technical, cyclical and charting techniques — while also employing passive index funds and ETFs where appropriate. Clients receive ongoing monitoring and quarterly account reviews, and financial planning is offered as an ongoing subscription service as well as in one‑time, limited‑scope, and hourly formats.
Noteworthy features include a subscription‑style comprehensive planning engagement with an upfront onboarding component, explicit prorated refund policies if work is terminated before completion, and multiple fixed‑fee planning alternatives. The firm states it receives no third‑party compensation, generally recommends Charles Schwab as custodian while allowing client choice, does not provide separate written investment reports to managed accounts, and the lead advisor holds CFP certification and an M.S. in Financial Planning while maintaining an insurance license that is not used to sell products to clients.

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
