About
DBM Planning, LLC is a state-registered independent advisory firm that provides ongoing investment management and comprehensive financial planning to individual and high-net-worth clients, and also serves pension and profit-sharing plan clients. The firm reports managing about $14,079,941 across 13 client relationships and offers services including cash flow and debt management, retirement and estate planning, college savings, employee benefits optimization, and business planning.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes long-term financial planning and asset-allocation-driven portfolio construction, with work that typically involves mutual fund and ETF analysis and manager review. Implementation is primarily non-discretionary — trades are placed under a limited power of attorney while clients retain final decision authority — and accounts are reviewed regularly (quarterly) with custody provided through Charles Schwab.
Distinctive aspects include the solo CFP practitioner model operating a relatively small book of business while maintaining a material portion of assets on a non-discretionary basis and actively advising retirement plan clients, which is less common among similar independent firms. The firm, founded in 2023, maintains a stated $1,000,000 account minimum (waivable at the firm’s discretion), does not engage in block trading or proxy voting on client securities, and limits custody to fee debits while delivering written account reports.

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.
