About
Authentic Life Financial Planning LLC is a fee-only, registered investment adviser that provides continuous investment management and comprehensive financial planning primarily for individual and high‑net‑worth clients; the firm reports $922,091 in non‑discretionary assets under management. Services include ongoing and project‑based financial planning, monitoring of held‑away employer‑sponsored accounts, and educational seminars and speaking engagements.
The firm’s investment approach combines modern portfolio theory with a mix of passive and active strategies, using fundamental and cyclical analysis to evaluate mutual funds, ETFs, and individual securities and to set asset allocation aligned with client goals and risk tolerance. ALFP frequently recommends and oversees third‑party Outside Managers (including GeoWealth), assists clients in selecting other advisers, and uses third‑party reporting tools to monitor held‑away accounts.
What distinguishes ALFP from many peers is its combination of educational programming and flexible planning arrangements—offering public seminars, project‑based and hourly planning options, and a shorter "Office Hours" engagement—alongside its advisory work. Operating as a small, recently formed firm with non‑discretionary trading authority and a practice of recommending and monitoring outside managers, ALFP emphasizes adviser‑assisted selection and oversight of third‑party managers rather than sole reliance on in‑house discretionary management.

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.
