About

Life Planning Partners advises individual clients — including high-net-worth households — as well as retirement plans, trusts, and charitable entities, offering ongoing financial planning with portfolio management, pension consulting, and limited-scope advisory consulting. Its service set includes an annual, holistic “financial life plan” process and implementation assistance tailored to each client’s circumstances.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes broadly diversified, long-term asset allocation driven by written Investment Policy Statements and a belief that markets are generally efficient; portfolios are typically constructed with low-cost, tax-efficient mutual funds and ETFs and supplemented with individual municipal, corporate, or Treasury bonds when appropriate. Life Planning Partners monitors and rebalances accounts periodically and can operate on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis depending on client authorization.

Notably, the firm generally uses a fixed, complexity-based advisory fee model rather than charging a percentage-of-assets-under-management, a departure from the fee model used by many peers. It also provides ERISA-focused pension consulting as a non-discretionary fiduciary, may be granted standing authority to facilitate asset transfers (resulting in limited custody arrangements), and relies on an institutional custody platform that provides execution and operational support.

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.
