About
Nautical Financial Planning is a fee-only, independent advisory firm run by a single CFP® practitioner that provides hourly and project-based financial planning and consultation to individuals, couples, families and business entities. The firm does not take custody of client assets or provide discretionary portfolio management; clients implement recommendations themselves or engage the firm for periodic, on-request reviews.
The adviser’s investment guidance emphasizes globally diversified, low-cost, tax-efficient passive mutual funds and ETFs and uses strategic asset allocation and Monte Carlo analysis to model outcomes and recommend portfolio weightings. Nautical will recommend custodians (for example, Fidelity and TD Ameritrade), assist with account setup and provide rebalancing or tax-loss harvesting advice when clients request paid consulting time, rather than managing accounts on an ongoing basis.
Compared with many independent peers, Nautical is notable for relying solely on hourly or project fees instead of percentage-of-AUM billing and for explicitly not accepting commissions or third-party payments. The principal’s CFP® credential, Enrolled Agent status and state tax-preparer licenses support integrated tax and planning advice, and the firm’s policies emphasize fiduciary duty and the use of no-load funds in client recommendations.

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.
