About
Life Planning Solutions, LLC provides comprehensive financial planning and investment management primarily for individuals, trusts and small businesses. The firm operates as a fee-only advisory practice offering tailored comprehensive planning, asset management, retainer engagements and limited hourly advising services.
The firm follows a strategic asset allocation approach with a core‑and‑satellite construction, using passively managed mutual funds and ETFs as core holdings and selectively adding bonds or active funds where appropriate; portfolios are generally managed on a discretionary basis and documented with an Investment Policy Statement. Custody and trade execution are arranged through Charles Schwab, and the firm emphasizes global diversification and ongoing portfolio monitoring.
Compared with many solo independent advisers, Life Planning Solutions is a small practice managing clients with relatively high account minimums and discrete retainer offerings (retainer clients are typically in the $2–5 million net worth range), and the principal brings dual professional credentials (CPA/PFS and CFP) and an elevated continuing‑education standard. Although the brochure states the firm is fee‑only and not currently affiliated with broker‑dealers or other advisers, it also discloses prior registered‑representative experience for the principal and identifies Charles Schwab as the custodian and broker‑dealer of record, a mix of elements that is less common among independent advisors.

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.
