About
Vista Financial Planning is a fee‑only, holistic financial planning firm that primarily serves individuals and families and provides comprehensive services including tax planning and preparation, estate and risk‑management reviews, retirement planning, and portfolio analysis. The firm also offers retirement plan consulting to employee benefit plans, plan sponsors and fiduciaries, assisting with relationships with third‑party administrators, recordkeepers and participant education.
Vista structures client engagements through an Open Retainer model with multiple scheduled meetings in an initial period and periodic renewal meetings thereafter, and does not sell insurance or accept commissions. Investment advice is tailored to each client’s tax situation, risk tolerance and goals, emphasizes no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, U.S. government securities and bonds, and is delivered on a non‑discretionary basis with client approval required for transactions.
What is noteworthy about the firm is the combination of individual, tax‑centric planning with documented retirement plan consulting services for sponsors and fiduciaries and occasional accounting/tax work for a local nonprofit, reflecting capacity to serve both personal and institutional needs. The brochure also highlights a retainer‑based fee framework (combining base, income and net‑worth components) and membership in fee‑only professional organizations, distinguishing its model from peers that rely primarily on percentage‑of‑assets AUM billing.

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.
