A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Upward Financial Planning

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Upward Financial Planning or one who fits your needs even better.

Upward Financial Planning serves individual clients — including those with substantial assets — by providing discretionary investment management, comprehensive financial planning (both ongoing and project‑based), and tax return preparation. The firm also assists clients with insurance coverage and states that it may receive commissions when placing life insurance. The firm builds individualized investment policies and asset‑allocation targets that combine passive and active strategies and a range of analytical methods (fundamental, technical, and portfolio theory), and it monitors accounts regularly under discretionary authority. Compensation is primarily percentage‑of‑AUM for portfolio management, while planning and tax services are billed as fixed or hourly fees; the firm recently raised its stated investment‑management account minimum to $500,000. What distinguishes the firm from many peers is the combination of fee‑based advisory services with limited insurance brokerage activity (commissions for life insurance), an explicit offering of tax preparation, and a focus on business‑owner planning and exit‑planning work. The advisory practice is small with modest assets under management and a compact client base, and the firm’s principal maintains unrelated small‑business operations outside the advisory business, a factor clients may want to consider when assessing capacity and availability.

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
