About

Willis Johnson Wealth provides comprehensive financial planning and investment management primarily for corporate professionals, executives, and high‑net‑worth individuals and their families. The firm’s brochure lists services that include retirement planning, corporate benefits election guidance, trust and estate planning, risk and insurance planning, charitable and education planning, tax planning and preparation through an in‑house CPA, and access to private market investments.

The firm describes an evidence‑based, tax‑aware investment approach built on five core tenets—diversification, process over prediction, tax coordination, low‑cost implementation, and systematic rebalancing—and offers six model strategies ranging from Aggressive to Fixed Income. It also manages tailored solutions, including a Structured Protection Model that uses structured protection ETFs and options (including FLEX options) and private‑market allocations as part of its broader investment programs.

Noteworthy operational features in the brochure include the in‑house CPA tax service and a Families Program that households accounts and adjusts fee treatment for parents and children, alongside a firm policy that client accounts be custodied at Fidelity. The firm’s public materials also include client testimonials and references to third‑party ratings, practices that are less common among similarly sized team firms.

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
