About

BRIO Financial Planning is a fee-only advisory firm that provides holistic financial planning and portfolio management to individuals and families, covering areas such as cash‑flow and budgeting, retirement and education planning, investment allocation, insurance, estate planning, and tax planning with tax return preparation. Engagements are offered as an ongoing Open Retainer (annual fixed fee plus an initial onboarding fee) or as narrower Custom Project engagements for single-topic work.

The firm emphasizes individualized, goals‑based planning and typically implements investment recommendations on a non‑discretionary basis, obtaining client approval for each trade and conducting annual account and plan reviews. When appropriate, BRIO will recommend an unaffiliated independent manager (Asset Dedication) to manage portions of client assets with discretionary authority under a separate agreement.

BRIO is distinctive among independent advisors in that nearly all of its reported assets (approximately $36.7 million) are managed non‑discretionarily and the firm itself does not use a percentage‑of‑AUM fee model, instead relying on tiered fixed retainer fees; third‑party managers, when engaged, may charge AUM‑based fees separately. The firm also includes tax preparation in its retainer scope, operates without accepting commissions or referral fees, and the principal holds CFP® and Enrolled Agent credentials and participates in fee‑only and tax professional organizations.

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.
