About
Motif Planning (doing business as Thriving Musician LLC) provides comprehensive and project-based financial planning to individuals and high-net-worth individuals. Services described in the brochure include business planning for client-owners, cash flow and tax planning, estate and retirement planning, and public educational seminars and speaking engagements.
The firm operates as a fee-only financial planner and does not manage client assets or accept custody; investment recommendations may be made within financial plans but Motif Planning does not exercise investment discretion. Its written materials describe an investment philosophy grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and passive, asset-allocation approaches, and the adviser works with clients through an ongoing annual service and communications calendar.
Noteworthy for an independent, solo advisor, the brochure discloses the use of client testimonials, non‑client endorsements, and a third‑party (Google) rating on its website — practices that are uncommon among peers. The firm also emphasizes educational programming and a niche background tied to the founder’s music‑industry experience, and it does not rely on percentage‑of‑AUM fee models or traditional portfolio management services.

Advisors at this firm
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.
