About
Cadena Financial Planning & Tax Services provides fee-only financial planning and investment management to individual clients and trusts, serving a client base of under 100. Services described in the brochure include comprehensive financial plans and targeted projects covering retirement, estate, education, cash flow, and tax planning.
The firm uses a tailored, holistic process that begins with goal-setting and an assessment of current finances, then applies a fundamental investment approach that considers economic indicators, corporate earnings, valuations, tax law, and each client’s risk tolerance and time horizon. Accounts are managed on an ongoing, discretionary basis, and the firm offers both comprehensive engagements and targeted hourly work for specific client needs.
What is noteworthy about the firm is the explicit integration of tax planning and tax advice into its advisory offering—tax planning is described in the brochure as a “cornerstone” of a client’s financial plan—so clients receive combined financial and tax planning rather than investment-only advice. The firm also operates as a sole, fee-only fiduciary managing discretionary assets (reported at $61.2 million) and provides regular custodial statements and trade confirmations for client review.

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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
