About

Bridge the Gap Retirement Planners LLC provides financial planning and investment management to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, charitable organizations, and businesses. The two-advisor firm reports approximately $49.1 million in discretionary assets under management for about 32 clients and offers both ongoing comprehensive and hourly, limited-scope financial planning across topics such as retirement, tax strategies, estate planning, business planning, and risk management.

The firm delivers investment management exclusively through a wrap fee program, so advisory services and transaction costs are bundled into a single asset-based fee and BTGRP does not manage non-wrap accounts. In its planning work the firm emphasizes tailored recommendations—asset allocation, diversification, tax-aware approaches and periodic rebalancing—and may waive planning fees for clients who engage its investment management services.

BTGRP’s exclusive use of a wrap program is a distinctive feature relative to peers and is noted in the brochure as creating potential trading and fee-structure conflicts that the firm addresses through adherence to client objectives and its fiduciary duty. As a small, fee-only adviser led by two CFP®-credentialed partners with prior broker-dealer and private client experience, the firm maintains a limited client roster, permits reasonable client-imposed investment restrictions, and does not take custody or vote client proxies.

At Bridge The Gap we purposefully choose to work with a small number of clients per advisor, so each client’s situation can be served as a priority. This provides clients with a partnership that goes deeper into your financial planning needs. Our goals is to be the go to for all things financial, and to be your accountability partner in implementation. Many advisors draft clients a plan, but we work to together to live it. We have ongoing planning conversations with our clients around investments, risk management, liquidity analysis, estate planning, tax planning, tax efficiency, and goal fulfillment.

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.
