About
Guttman Financial Planning provides financial planning, investment consultation, and portfolio management primarily for individual clients and families, with services that include retirement-plan and rollover analysis, college funding, tax and estate planning, and implementation through custodial accounts or recommended third‑party managers. Clients may engage the firm for broad-based or modular planning, ongoing portfolio supervision, or one-time consultations.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes fundamental analysis and a long-term, buy-and-hold orientation with periodic rebalancing, building diversified portfolios largely through mutual funds and ETFs. Investment guidelines are customized to each client’s objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance, and accounts are typically managed on a discretionary basis; when recommending third‑party managers the firm conducts due diligence and annual reviews.
Distinctive features include a small, boutique scale—about $1.7 million in regulatory assets under management across a limited number of client accounts—and the provision of periodic complimentary educational seminars that are explicitly described as educational and not sales-focused, a service the brochure notes as uncommon among peers. The firm is led by a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional who conducts client reviews directly and offers both comprehensive and focused (modular) planning options.

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
