About

Planning Works Advisory serves individuals, high-net-worth households, trusts, estates, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and small businesses with ongoing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, and retirement plan services. The firm also provides non‑management investment advice and, in some cases, delegates investment management responsibilities to outside sub‑advisors.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in modern portfolio theory and seeks to build globally diversified portfolios primarily through mutual funds and ETFs, using fundamental security analysis alongside market trend and economic cycle analysis. Portfolios are tailored to documented client risk profiles and objectives, and PWA may employ long‑term, short‑term and trading strategies — including margin and options — where appropriate.

Noteworthy features in the brochure include that the firm was formed recently and operates with a small team while managing roughly $200 million in discretionary assets, and that the firm’s owner operates related accounting/tax and consulting businesses. The brochure also discloses that some associated persons are licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions, that the firm receives various non‑cash services and occasional travel reimbursements from custodians, and that PWA does not vote client proxies.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through — whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.

Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly — so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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.
