About

Vista Financial Planning is a fee‑only, holistic financial planning firm that primarily serves individuals and families and provides comprehensive services including tax planning and preparation, estate and risk‑management reviews, retirement planning, and portfolio analysis. The firm also offers retirement plan consulting to employee benefit plans, plan sponsors and fiduciaries, assisting with relationships with third‑party administrators, recordkeepers and participant education.

Vista structures client engagements through an Open Retainer model with multiple scheduled meetings in an initial period and periodic renewal meetings thereafter, and does not sell insurance or accept commissions. Investment advice is tailored to each client’s tax situation, risk tolerance and goals, emphasizes no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, U.S. government securities and bonds, and is delivered on a non‑discretionary basis with client approval required for transactions.

What is noteworthy about the firm is the combination of individual, tax‑centric planning with documented retirement plan consulting services for sponsors and fiduciaries and occasional accounting/tax work for a local nonprofit, reflecting capacity to serve both personal and institutional needs. The brochure also highlights a retainer‑based fee framework (combining base, income and net‑worth components) and membership in fee‑only professional organizations, distinguishing its model from peers that rely primarily on percentage‑of‑assets AUM billing.

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
