About

United Planners Financial Services is a national wealth‑management enterprise with roughly $12.77 billion in assets under management, about 359 advisors, and more than 30,000 client relationships. The firm offers advisory and brokerage services to a broad client mix including individual (non‑HNW and HNW) investors, retirement plans, corporations, trusts and estates, and other institutional clients.

Advisory services are delivered through independent Investment Adviser Representatives who commonly also act as registered representatives, and the firm uses a mix of custodians, third‑party money managers and platform programs (Pershing, TPCs, TPMMs) to implement strategies and cash‑management solutions. A notable operational feature is that most of United Planners’ AUM is reported as non‑discretionary (about $12.16 billion non‑discretionary versus roughly $607 million discretionary), meaning many accounts are managed on a non‑discretionary or client‑directed basis rather than via broad discretionary mandates.

Distinctive aspects of the firm include its limited‑partnership ownership in which many financial professionals are limited partners and formalized advisor transition support (forgivable or non‑forgivable loans and non‑loan assistance) for new advisors. The firm’s dual IA/BD registration enables commission activity and promoter/referral arrangements, it discloses relationships with banking/thrift clients and other investment advisers, and its brochure describes various custodian and sponsorship arrangements (including vendor payment/revenue‑sharing programs) as well as several historical regulatory settlements.

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
