Top Financial Planning Firms

Financial planning builds a written plan for how money moves from today's income and assets to future goals. For business owners and executives, financial planners model cash flow, retirement savings, stock options and equity, insurance, tax efficiency, education funding and the proceeds of a future business sale, then revisit the plan as circumstances change. Employers also hire planners to run financial wellness sessions for staff. The usual triggers are a liquidity event, a new equity grant, an approaching retirement or a messy mix of accounts that nobody coordinates.

When comparing firms here, check whether the planner is a fiduciary, how they are paid, and their experience with clients whose wealth is tied up in a private company.

Hiring Financial Planning companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What financial planning firms provide

A planning engagement usually starts with data gathering: income, expenses, balance sheet, tax returns, benefits, insurance policies, estate documents and any equity in a business. The planner builds a model of the current path, tests goals such as retirement age or a planned sale, and delivers recommendations on savings, investment allocation, risk coverage, tax strategy and estate coordination, often with scenario projections.

Implementation can be handled by the client or by the firm, which may manage investments, coordinate with the client's CPA and estate attorney, and review the plan at set intervals. Business owners often also get help choosing a retirement plan for the company, such as a 401(k), SEP or cash balance plan, and planning the personal side of an exit.

Engagements take three forms: a one-time plan, an ongoing planning relationship on an annual fee, or planning bundled with wealth management where investments are also under the firm's care.

Financial Planning FAQs

Question not covered? Ask our team

A financial planning firm builds a plan covering cash flow, savings, investments, retirement, insurance, taxes and estate coordination, based on a client's full financial picture. For business owners, it also plans for equity, company retirement plans and the proceeds of a sale, and updates the plan over time.

Financial planning is priced as a flat fee for a one-time plan, an ongoing retainer, an hourly rate or a share of assets under management, and some advisers earn commissions. Most firms listed on Edverise set no minimum or a floor of $1,000, and a few start at $50,000 to $250,000.

Financial planning creates the strategy for reaching goals across savings, taxes, insurance, retirement and estate. Wealth management usually adds ongoing investment management, and often tax and estate coordination, for clients with larger assets. Many firms offer planning as part of wealth management.

A financial planner should ideally hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER designation, which requires education, an exam, experience and a fiduciary commitment, or a related credential such as CFA or CPA with PFS. Check registration and disciplinary history on FINRA BrokerCheck or the SEC adviser database.

Financial planning firms on Edverise most often serve business services and financial services clients, followed by real estate, information technology, medical, manufacturing and nonprofit organizations, including both owners planning personal wealth and employers offering planning as a benefit.

Financial planning firms on Edverise are listed most often in New York, Toronto, Boston and Chicago, with others in Austin, Dubai, Los Angeles and Phoenix. Many planners meet clients remotely, but check that the firm is registered in your state or province.
