About
Client First Finance LLC works with individuals and couples, and also advises on trusts, estates, small businesses, and retirement-plan matters. Services range from narrowly scoped financial advice to multi-year comprehensive financial planning covering investments, taxes, employee benefits, estate planning, insurance, education funding, cash flow, and budgeting.
The firm’s investment guidance emphasizes long-term, passive index-based portfolios, disciplined asset allocation, and written investment policy statements, with an emphasis on low-cost mutual funds and infrequent trading. Uncommonly for its peer group, the firm does not provide discretionary portfolio management or custody of client assets and instead assists clients with implementation while billing for that work.
Distinctive operational features include a fee-only billing model that does not use percentage-of-assets-under-management fees, reliance on invoiced payments (checks only), and a refusal to accept commissions or soft-dollar arrangements. The principal combines advanced technical graduate degrees and CFP certification with prior Silicon Valley executive experience, participates in NAPFA activities, and offers pro bono community workshops, which are notable given the firm’s small size and advisory focus.

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.
