About

Lifetime Financial serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients with ongoing financial planning and investment management, and also provides employee benefit plan advisory services, custom project planning, and educational seminars. The firm focuses its client work on professionals who staff nonprofits, colleges and universities, and government agencies, and manages investment accounts alongside year‑round financial planning support.

The firm emphasizes systematic investment management—building diversified, asset‑allocation portfolios using index mutual funds and ETFs—and integrates planning topics such as retirement, tax coordination, education funding, mortgage/refinance analysis, and strategic philanthropy into portfolio oversight. Clients receive regular monitoring and semi‑annual reviews, and the firm can implement recommendations for “held‑away” accounts through a third‑party platform when custodial constraints prevent direct management.

What is distinctive about the firm is its small client roster supporting a relatively large asset base, enabling deeply hands‑on planning across life transitions and specialized areas like FAFSA assistance, executive benefits advice, and donor‑advised fund work that align with nonprofit and public‑service clients. The firm also leverages custodian relationships that provide advisory technology and research support, and its principals have recently added professional credentials that expand its planning capabilities for older clients and complex household needs.

Lifetime Financial

We created Lifetime Financial to serve the professional households working for the greater good. Our clients are unintentional millionaires. It might be surprising to think of yourself as a millionaire, but when you add up the equity in your home, a lifetime of saving, high market returns, and inflation—it quickly adds up. Though modestly affluent households like yours don’t have the resources of the ultra-wealthy, you still have much of the same complexity and the need for regular guidance. Typically, these households hold an average of $1.5 million in liquid assets and are often underserved by the financial community. Eighty percent of high-net-worth and mega-millionaires work with financial advisors to plan and manage their finances, but only 60% of unintentional millionaires do. We provide extensive, full-service financial planning and investment management with great services and ongoing support at a reasonable price. We are independent fiduciaries and keep our fees low, well below Wall Street rates, while providing services they don’t offer. An important distinction is that we are a Fee-Only firm, which is often confused with Fee-Based which is more common in larger firms. In contrast to Fee-Only, Fee-Based advisors receive commissions on products they sell you. We are only paid by you. Our typical clients are nonprofit professionals and those working for the greater good who want expert financial help with retirement, college planning, investing, tax planning, and more. Together we will connect the dots between your financial realities and the life you long to live.

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.
