Whitford Financial Planning
Mike founded Whitford Financial Planning after working in the financial services industry for 25 years. He learned the importance of planning ahead and giving back by observing his parents manage their household finances. Mike wanted to become an advisor so he could help people make informed financial decisions. He started his career with Vanguard in a mutual fund accounting role but quickly realized he wanted to work directly with clients. While at Vanguard he completed the Certified Financial Planner (TM) coursework and first became an advisor. Mike then transitioned to Rodgers & Associates where he was able to provide more in-depth tax and retirement planning services and helped to build and manage a team of advisors. At Whitford Financial Planning, we specialize in retirement, taxes, and inheritance planning. Our comprehensive services are designed to coordinate your investments, tax strategies, retirement income needs, insurance, and estate planning goals.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
