About
Kastler Financial Planning is a fee-only, state-registered advisory firm that provides financial and retirement planning and, when engaged, investment management for individual clients — with a primary focus on clients in or approaching retirement. Services include one-time and limited-scope planning engagements, recurring (ongoing) planning support, and referrals to third‑party professionals for tax, legal, or insurance needs.
The firm’s investment framework is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and a predominantly passive approach that uses index mutual funds and ETFs; when it provides investment management it operates through a major custodian and can manage accounts on a discretionary basis. For planning work the firm commonly uses fixed, tiered, and hourly billing and often delivers a written or electronic financial plan within a defined timeline, with the option for ongoing, advice‑only support where clients implement recommendations themselves.
Compared with many peers, Kastler Financial Planning routinely offers educational seminars, speaking engagements, and published materials for groups and the public, and may serve as a consultant to other advisory firms — activities that are less common among independent solo advisors. The firm also departs from the typical advisor billing model by not relying on percentage-of-AUM fees, instead favoring flat-fee, tiered and hourly arrangements, and operates with a small, boutique client base and relatively modest assets under advisement.

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.
