About

The firm serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering discretionary portfolio management, one‑time and ongoing comprehensive financial planning, retirement‑account advice, and project or hourly engagements. It implements tailored investment policy statements and typically recommends mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds while facilitating implementation through outside managers and custodial platforms.

The firm emphasizes a passive investment approach focused on diversified, asset‑class driven allocations and tax considerations, and it generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis with periodic reviews and IPS updates. It also uses third‑party managers and sub‑advisors for implementation and provides both fixed‑fee and hourly planning structures, including a 12‑month ongoing planning model with monitoring and follow‑up.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include a structured program of educational seminars, workshops, and paid speaking engagements (some offered pro bono) that are presented as strictly educational rather than sales events—an uncommon service among similar firms. The firm also provides consulting services to financial‑technology companies and offers a Washington‑specific ongoing planning option, making its mix of public education and fintech advisory work atypical for a firm of its size.

Natalie T

CFP®, TPCP®

Goleta, CA

The Goodland Group

Natalie draws on 20+ years of comprehensive financial planning experience, 10+ years in fintech, and more than a decade of professional speaking to share advice that works in real life, not just on paper. She founded The Goodland Group to serve mid-career professionals with significant equity compensation (stock options and RSUs) at both public and private VC-backed companies. Natalie and her team of financial planners help clients who are navigating the tradeoffs between saving for retirement, paying off debt, saving for college, buying homes, family vacations, supporting aging parents, and making decisions around equity compensation, taxes, investment strategy, insurance, and career changes. They’re often making more than they ever have before, and are looking for a thought partner to navigate all of the decisions ahead as they move beyond the basics of building an emergency fund, paying off high interest debt, and investing in their 401(k).

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
