About

Branch & Bloom Financial Planning, LLC is a fee‑only registered investment adviser that provides comprehensive financial planning services to individuals and high‑net‑worth individuals. The firm offers project‑based, ongoing, and hourly planning engagements and also provides educational seminars and speaking engagements, but it does not manage client assets or custody client funds.

When making recommendations within a financial plan, the firm emphasizes asset allocation principles (including Modern Portfolio Theory), mutual fund and ETF analysis, and may recommend passive index‑based allocations, while leaving trade execution and custody to the client’s chosen custodian. Services are tailored to individual goals and can include business planning, retirement and tax planning, insurance and risk reviews, and referrals to third‑party professionals, with clients able to impose written restrictions on advised securities.

Several features distinguish the firm from many independent planners: the principal is registered as an investment adviser representative of another advisory firm and provides advisory services there (about 80 hours per month during securities trading hours), and the firm conducts paid educational seminars and speaking engagements for organizations and the public. The firm was formed and registered recently (late 2025/2026), operates under a fee‑only, non‑commission model, and uses fixed and hourly planning fees rather than percentage‑of‑assets‑under‑management pricing.

Financial Planning for What Matters Most Your financial plan should reflect what matters most to you. I begin every client relationship by understanding your values and goals. Together, we review where your money is going and identify opportunities for saving, investing, and living the life you envision. We then integrate relevant planning areas such as investment analysis, retirement planning, tax strategies, education funding, risk management, and estate planning. Financial planning can often feel overwhelming, so I organize the process into clear, manageable steps and strive to make complex concepts understandable. We begin with your most urgent priorities and incorporate additional tasks as we make progress, building momentum together. With a background in engineering and technical project management, I bring a structured, creative, and thoughtful approach to every conversation, ensuring each step is purposeful and aligned with your goals. Whether you're seeking comprehensive or hourly planning, our work is tailored to the topics that matter most to you. My process stays grounded in your values, so each step supports your unique goals and priorities. As a fiduciary, I always put your interests first, offering honest guidance and clear, transparent fees. Whether you want hands-on support or prefer to implement your plan yourself, I'll provide a complete and actionable roadmap for your financial journey. My practice is built on trust, transparency, and a deep commitment to my clients' success. Nothing is more rewarding to me than seeing clients become thoughtful stewards of their wealth, gaining clarity and confidence, and building a future rooted in what matters most.

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.
