About
Stargazer Financial Planning provides fee-only, advice-only financial planning on an hourly, on-demand basis to individuals, families and small-business owners, offering financial education, specialized problem-focused planning, and comprehensive written financial plans. Services address investment planning, tax and insurance planning, benefits analysis, net worth tracking, and estate planning.
The firm follows a passive, indexing-oriented investment approach that favors low-cost mutual funds and ETFs, emphasizes investor behavior and asset allocation, and engages in trading infrequently—typically only for changes in client circumstances or tax opportunities. Stargazer does not take custody of client assets or exercise investment discretion, so clients retain control over implementation of recommendations and must request follow-up reviews.
Noteworthy features include an explicit hourly, advice-only model instead of percentage-of-AUM billing, a stated refusal of third-party compensation and nonparticipation in wrap fee programs, and reliance on financial periodicals and website research as part of its investment evaluation. The planner’s background in institutional operations and derivatives is highlighted as informing a retail-focused emphasis on financial education, and the firm generally does not perform ongoing account monitoring unless engaged to do so.

Forms ADV
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
