About

Wysopal Wealth Planning serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering investment management, both ongoing and project‑based financial planning, and educational seminars or speaking engagements. The firm operates on a fee‑only basis and manages approximately $6.7 million for a small client base, providing discretionary portfolio management across common securities including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and cash equivalents.

The firm develops personalized investment policies through one‑on‑one client dialogues and implements asset allocation using a blend of passive and active strategies informed by Modern Portfolio Theory, fundamental and technical analysis. It may utilize outside managers and model portfolios to execute strategies, monitors portfolios regularly, and tailors planning work to cover business planning, retirement, employee benefits, estate planning, and tax considerations.

Distinctive features include the firm’s offering of educational seminars and speaking engagements — an uncommon service among peers — delivered in virtual or in‑person formats and intended for groups rather than individualized advice. The principal holds CFP® certification and an equity‑compensation designation and has prior experience working with equity‑compensation matters, which may inform the firm’s emphasis on employee benefits optimization, equity compensation, and business‑owner planning.

Wysopal Wealth

At Wysopal Wealth, we specialize in helping high-income professionals and former athletes manage the complexities of equity compensation and variable income. Our goal is to make sure your money works for you—today and for the future. We focus on creating personalized, values-driven financial plans that allow you to live fully now while planning for what’s next. I’m Brett Wysopal, a proud girl dad of two and a former minor pro hockey player. My experience in sports taught me discipline, focus, and resilience, all of which I apply to financial planning. After spending years navigating the world of equity compensation, I’ve made it my mission to help families simplify their finances, reduce tax burdens, and achieve their life goals. Our approach at Wysopal Wealth is rooted in personalized attention. We keep our client list small, ensuring every client receives the time and care they deserve. We dive deep into your financial situation, understanding your numbers, values, and what matters most to you. This allows us to tailor your financial strategy to your unique goals, whether that’s managing your equity, preparing for retirement, or planning a family legacy. Equity compensation is often the largest part of our clients' wealth, but it comes with complexities—ISOs, RSUs, stock options, and significant tax implications. Many people wait too long to make decisions about their equity, resulting in missed opportunities or unexpected tax bills. At Wysopal Wealth, we take a proactive approach, creating a strategy for when and how to execute your equity plans, minimize tax liability, and diversify your holdings. At Wysopal Wealth, financial happiness is the goal. We believe that money should support the life you want, and we’re here to help you make that happen.

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
