About
Foundations Financial Planning provides personalized, fee-only financial planning and investment advice to individuals as well as trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small business entities. Services described in the brochure include limited-scope hourly planning, ongoing investment advice, comprehensive financial planning and retainer arrangements.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation with a core-and-satellite structure that typically uses passive index funds and ETFs as the core and selectively adds active funds, with portfolios globally diversified to manage risk. Advice is delivered as recommendations supported by planning and research tools (e.g., financial planning and Morningstar research software); the firm does not act as custodian or trade discretionary client accounts — clients make and execute final investment decisions.
Notable differences from many peers include reporting no assets under management and not accepting discretionary portfolio management for client accounts, as well as not charging standard percentage-of-AUM fees; instead the firm uses hourly, flat and retainer fee arrangements. The brochure also discloses a succession agreement with another registered adviser for an eventual client transition and that the firm does not provide its own performance statements, directing clients to custodial account reports.

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.
