Hi, I’m Keith. So, a bit about me. I love this stuff. The whole financial planning thing. After getting a degree in music (yeah, music…), I worked at a leading investment management firm in Los Angeles for 18 years. But I had this itch all along that I wanted to open my own financial planning firm at some point. I finally decided to pull the trigger to open my own firm in 2019, and here I am. I’m now based in Spokane, Washington, but I work with clients virtually, so I can help people who live anywhere. I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to finances. I have so much fun with this topic and am honored to be able to help others with it. Money can be such a tough subject, so I love coming alongside people to help them navigate the questions they have, as well as the questions they don’t know they should have. I started Spencer Financial Planning to empower people through financial health. We’re a fee-only, fiduciary firm. We look out for our clients’ best interests and help them make fantastic money decisions. We serve clients primarily in California and Spokane, Washington, specializing in helping Capital Group associates and retirees. We help you: - Make smart financial decisions - Cultivate good habits with your money - Navigate the complexities of your finances On a personal level, a few things I love: - My wife and kids, foster care, adoption - Financial planning, reading - The Salvation Army, church - Music, playing bass guitar - Watching baseball, playing fantasy baseball, ping-pong - Eating (sometimes too much), using bullet points - Disneyland, Hawaii, the beach, travel

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.
