About

Brewster Financial Planning provides personalized, fee‑only financial planning and investment management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small businesses. The firm manages assets on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases and reports managing roughly $240 million for about 118 clients.

The investment approach emphasizes asset allocation implemented primarily with passively managed index funds and exchange‑traded funds, with globally diversified portfolios documented in client‑specific Investment Policy Statements. Accounts are continuously monitored, reviewed at least quarterly, and the firm typically executes strategies on a discretionary basis through no‑load or low‑load funds held at discount custodians.

The brochure indicates the firm issues periodicals, special reports and charts or models clients may use to evaluate securities and discusses performance figures in fund disclosures, suggesting the use of hypothetical or modeled performance materials in its communications — a practice that is uncommon among peers. The firm also notes relationships with institutional clients such as pension plans and, unusually for similar supported firms, insurance company clients, while maintaining a strictly fee‑only, non‑commission business model.

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.
