About

Retirement Planning Specialists is an SEC-registered advisory firm that provides comprehensive investment management and stand‑alone financial planning to individuals, retirement plans, estates, trusts, and small business clients. The firm manages roughly $370.6 million for about 556 clients and delivers ongoing portfolio management and written financial plans under signed advisory agreements.

Portfolios are developed from client questionnaires and periodic consultations, with diversified allocations across mutual funds, ETFs, individual bonds, stocks, and variable products; accounts are generally managed on a discretionary basis and reviewed at least quarterly. The firm emphasizes a primarily long‑term, buy‑and‑hold approach while retaining the ability to use shorter‑term trades and third‑party sub‑advisors when appropriate.

Noteworthy features include an unusually high client‑to‑advisor ratio (approximately 278 clients per advisor), which aligns with more standardized operating practices such as a custodial requirement at Charles Schwab and limited aggregation of trades. Several firm personnel are also licensed insurance agents and may receive commissions for insurance sales, a potential conflict the brochure discloses alongside other conflicts such as rollover recommendations.

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.
