About
Cetera Planning Partners serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, with a notable emphasis on pre‑retirees and retirees, providing investment management, comprehensive financial planning, Social Security optimization and retirement‑related advice. The firm also offers ancillary services that are not always standard at similarly sized multi‑team firms, including tax planning and preparation, bookkeeping and payroll support, and an estate‑planning offering called Legacy Wealth Strategies delivered through a third‑party provider.
CPP’s investment process centers on diversified allocations built from mutual funds and ETFs that are matched to a client’s stated objectives and risk tolerance, beginning with a formal, document‑driven planning intake and periodic (typically annual) plan updates. Accounts may be managed on either a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis, and the brochure discloses specific features and risks for margin, pledged‑account loans and other lending arrangements (including use of third‑party providers such as TriState and Goldman Sachs).
What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its integration into a larger Cetera network and the related mix of affiliated capabilities: Cetera Investment Services and Cetera Investment Services (CIS) are described as affiliated broker‑dealer/clearing and custodial resources (CIS may act as an IRA custodian), CPP refers ERISA Section 3(38) and other pension‑related work to an affiliated advisor, and the firm makes use of bank deposit sweep programs (FlexInsured, IDSA) and other bank loan/custody arrangements that generate institutional‑level revenue sharing. The brochure also notes access to publications, conferences and other communications provided through custodians and strategic partners, and the firm explains how it coordinates with outside attorneys for estate‑planning document execution.

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
