About

Wise Planning, Inc. provides financial advice to individuals and families — including high net worth clients — as well as corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, and estates. The firm offers comprehensive personal financial planning and an hourly planning option, along with portfolio management and implementation support tailored to client needs.

The firm operates primarily on a non-discretionary basis: it develops written plans, makes investment recommendations, and provides supervisory management on a periodic or event-driven basis while clients retain final trading authority (limited powers of attorney are used when authorized). Investment implementation generally emphasizes low-cost, broad-market index mutual funds and ETFs, with occasional use of individual fixed-income securities, and client accounts are reviewed at least quarterly or as circumstances warrant.

Distinctive aspects in the brochure include a flat, asset-and-complexity–based annual fee schedule (plus an hourly option) rather than a percentage-of-AUM billing approach and the absence of performance-based fees. The firm reports over $610 million in non-discretionary regulatory assets across roughly 200 client relationships with a five-advisor team, and staff involvement in delivering educational seminars and workshops for corporate audiences is noted as a regular part of its activities.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
