I provide ongoing investment management as the core service, while integrating comprehensive financial planning to ensure every financial decision supports your long-term goals, values, and life transitions. Whether you’re preparing for military retirement, navigating life after service, or stewarding wealth in retirement, my role is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Ongoing Financial Planning
Ongoing Advice Without Investment Management
Ongoing Comprehensive Financial Planning is designed for military, veteran, and retiree families who want continuous, fiduciary guidance across retirement, cash flow, tax-aware strategies, and estate considerations, without investment management.
I provide ongoing comprehensive financial planning support to help you make confident decisions across every area of your financial life. This relationship is focused on making decisions without second guessing, having a plan you can explain, and long-term stewardship, while allowing you to retain control of your investment accounts.
Best for: Families who want clear next steps while managing their own investments.
Project-Based Financial Planning
Focused Planning for a Specific Decision or Season
Project-Based Financial Planning is designed for military, veteran, and retiree families who need help with a specific financial question or transition without committing to an ongoing advisory relationship.
I work with you on a clearly defined planning engagement, focused on answering key questions, evaluating options, and outlining next steps you can implement on your own.
Best for: Families who need help with a defined question or planning project.
The Formynder Approach
Flat-Fee
Formynder Wealth Management is built around deliberate choices about how advice is delivered. I operate as a flat-fee, fee-only fiduciary so recommendations are not influenced by products, commissions, or asset levels. Flat-fee pricing means you always know how advice is delivered and how decisions are made.
Faith-Based
For families who want faith to inform how financial decisions are discussed and evaluated, that perspective is welcomed and respected. Advice remains practical, fiduciary, and focused on real-world tradeoffs, without assumptions or pressure.
