About

Financial Planning Consultants, LLC provides advisory referral services to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, and pension and profit‑sharing plans by introducing clients to independent, registered third‑party investment advisers. The firm does not directly manage client accounts, take custody of client assets, or provide continuous portfolio management; clients enter into separate advisory agreements with the selected third‑party adviser.

FPC’s work consists of making introductions and furnishing disclosure about potential conflicts; it does not make individualized securities recommendations or conduct ongoing monitoring of the third‑party advisers after the referral. The firm is compensated by the recommended advisers through referral fees paid by those advisers rather than directly by clients, and it discloses that it will only recommend advisers that pay such fees.

A notable feature of the firm is the cross‑affiliation of its management with other financial services: management personnel are partners in an accounting firm that provides separate, fee‑bearing accounting services, are licensed as registered representatives of broker‑dealers, and are shareholders/registered persons of an affiliated insurance brokerage. These multiple business lines and the firm’s explicit reliance on solicitor arrangements — combined with limited post‑referral oversight — distinguish its business model from firms that directly advise and manage client portfolios.

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.
