About

Safe Landing Financial provides tailored investment management and a range of financial planning services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, families, trusts, and business entities. Services described in the brochure include discretionary portfolio management (with the option to use third‑party managers), comprehensive and ongoing planning, and project or hourly engagements.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes Modern Portfolio Theory and a primarily passive implementation using low‑cost index funds and ETFs, while also considering fundamental and technical analysis and selective active manager allocation. Financial planning engagements are delivered on fixed, percentage‑based, or combined fee arrangements and can cover cash flow, retirement and tax planning, estate planning, employee benefits optimization, and other topics tailored to client complexity.

Distinctive aspects noted in the brochure include the firm’s provision of employee benefits and pension‑related consulting for business clients — services that are less common among independent advisers — and the firm’s prior offering of educational seminars and speaking engagements, which were removed in a recent update. The brochure also discloses an onboarding fee with stated refund conditions for planning clients, the use of Schwab’s institutional platform (with related non‑economic support services), and the option to combine fixed fees and asset‑based fees for comprehensive planning.

Safe Landing Financial

Hi, I’m Brian, Founder and Financial Planner at Safe Landing Financial. I started Safe Landing Financial to serve as a one-stop, fee-only financial planning firm for tech professionals who want to plan for a work optional future. I believe you deserve advice from a fiduciary who puts your best interests first. The name Safe Landing Financial was inspired by my love of travel, the idea of reaching your financial destination safely, and a desire to help others navigate complex financial decisions. With more than a decade of experience in financial planning and investment management, I’ve seen how disconnected saving, investing, tax planning, retirement, insurance, and estate planning can feel without thoughtful coordination. My goal is to bring those pieces together into a clear, actionable strategy that helps you move forward with confidence. Many of the people I work with are employed at large technology companies like Dell Technologies. They’re often facing complex decisions around RSUs, 401(k)s, deferred compensation, and planning for a work optional future. Here are a few common questions I help clients work through: • How do I handle equity compensation and bonuses without getting crushed by taxes? • Am I taking advantage of the advanced planning opportunities available to me? • How do I balance enjoying life now with saving tax-efficiently for the future? Here’s what you can expect when we work together: • Confidence: Gain clarity on your full financial picture. My planning process ensures you’re on track and fully understand where you stand. • Expertise: I make complex financial decisions easier to understand and take action. I specialize in guiding high-earning tech executives through their financial journey. • Customization: Your plan evolves with your life, not a cookie-cutter approach. I help connect the dots from where you are today to where you want to be. When I’m not working on financial plans or managing portfolios, I’m usually traveling with my wife and our 5-pound Maltipoo, Lorelei, searching for the best barbecue or a fresh ocean breeze. If you're a tech professional ready to take control of your finances and plan for a work optional future, I’d love to hear your story.

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.
