About

Alta Via Financial Planning provides comprehensive financial planning to individual and high‑net‑worth clients through both project‑based and ongoing engagements, addressing retirement planning, estate planning, tax considerations, cash‑flow and debt management, business‑owner planning, insurance reviews, and investment analysis. The firm operates on a fee‑only basis and may refer clients to third‑party professionals for implementation and specialized services.

The firm does not provide discretionary portfolio management or custody of client assets; instead it delivers investment recommendations and planning supported by a mix of fundamental, technical, and mutual fund/ETF analysis and by retirement‑planning software for scenario modeling. Clients are expected to implement investment recommendations with a custodian of their choice, and the adviser conducts semi‑annual reviews and collaborative meetings to monitor progress and adjust plans.

Notably, Alta Via offers educational seminars and speaking engagements for groups, a service relatively uncommon among solo independent advisers, and it does not use percentage‑of‑AUM fee arrangements, reporting no assets under management. The practice is small and consultative, focusing on tailored planning engagements (including equity‑compensation and employee‑benefits coordination) rather than acting as an outside asset manager, which differentiates it from many peers.

Alta Via Financial Planning

After spending 15 years in corporate finance as a CPA I felt the desire for a more fulfilling career path. I made the switch to personal financial planning in 2014, earned the CFP marks, and spent 9 years at an Advice-Only firm providing hourly, project-based advice. I launched Alta Via Financial Planning with the intent to have deeper relationships with fewer clients, and provide a more collaborative, ongoing service model where I can more effectively set clients up for success in achieving their financial goals by serving as their trusted partner. I strive to meet clients where they are at, with no judgment, in order to provide a comfortable and trusted environment. I often find that the “Less is More” approach to both life and financial planning helps clients to destress and simplify their financial lives so that they can focus on what is most important, like getting outside with their families. I also understand and promote the importance of experiencing your ideal life today rather than waiting until financial independence (aka retirement). The advice-only pricing model does not compensate me based on how much you have, and therefore I do not have an asset minimum. I only require that you be a nice human. As a fiduciary I will never sell products, and will always make recommendations that are solely in your best interest. I provide comprehensive financial planning and cover areas such as retirement, investing, college savings, insurance needs, cash flow, equity compensation and tax planning.

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.
