About
Forward Financial Planning provides comprehensive financial planning and discretionary investment management for individual clients, including high‑net‑worth households. Services described in the brochure cover cash‑flow and debt management, retirement and estate planning, tax strategies, college savings, employee benefits optimization, and implementation support.
The firm frames planning as the primary tool for reaching clients’ goals and builds portfolios using modern portfolio theory and strategic asset allocation, favoring passive mutual funds and ETFs. Investment management is generally discretionary and monitored over time, and the firm also offers a two‑hour "Move Forward DIY" consultation for clients who want short, actionable guidance rather than a full engagement.
Notably, Forward typically charges a fixed annual fee for its financial planning engagements while also offering stand‑alone, asset‑based portfolio management — a dual pricing approach that is less common among independents that mainly use percentage‑of‑AUM billing. The practice operates at a modest scale with a limited client roster and is led by an advisor whose background includes a Master of Health Administration and recent CFP and CRPC credentials, which the brochure links to experience in employee‑benefits and healthcare‑related planning.

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.
