About
FWJ Planning LLC provides fee-only financial planning services to U.S. persons, households, and small businesses, delivering project-based and comprehensive plans as well as ongoing check‑in and digital‑access options. The firm explicitly does not provide investment management, does not accept custody of client funds, and does not participate in wrap fee programs.
When performing investment analysis as part of a financial plan, the firm uses a mix of fundamental, technical, cyclical, and charting methods alongside modern portfolio theory and typically recommends passive, low‑cost funds for client-implemented portfolios. Clients implement any investment recommendations through broker‑dealers or custodians of their choice, and engagements are structured as one‑time projects, periodic subscriptions, hourly work, or digital access rather than as percentage‑of‑assets fees.
The firm’s operating model is modest in scale and unusually planning‑focused for an independent adviser, foregoing portfolio management and AUM billing that most peers offer, and its principal concurrently operates a separate tax services business and allocates a portion of time to tax planning and preparation. The principal also holds professional credentials relevant to planning and tax work (CFP®, Enrolled Agent, and Certified Student Loan Planner), which informs the firm’s integrated planning and tax coordination services.

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.
