OnPlane Financial Advsiors (OPFA) is a fee-only financial planning firm located Darnestown, MD outside of Washington DC. We specialize in flat-fee financial planning and investment management for married professionals who are still working toward retirement. The financial landscape is changing. OPFA was created to provide flat-fee financial advice you can trust without the conflicts or incentives traditional financial advice carries.
This better enables OPFA families to turn their possibilities into plans and help guide them down the right path. My professional purpose changed when my wife and I were blessed to go from having 1 child to 5 children in just 2.5 years. That wasn't built into our financial plan!

My professional purpose changed when my wife and I were blessed to go from having 1 child to 5 children in just 2.5 years. That wasn't built into our financial plan! In addition to being a husband and father, I'm also a Certified Financial Planner(R) professional who has spent the last 10+ years in the financial services industry.
Many investment companies and firms as well as the financial media want to tell you they "know" what the markets will do. They do this in the form of fancy brochures, quarterly reports, and very catchy headlines. Don't fall for it. No one can consistently and reliably predict the direction of the market.
Who: married couples ages 35 - 55 who DON'T HAVE THE TIME (or desire) TO MANAGE THEIR FINANCIAL LIVES THEMSELVES AND WHO VALUE EXPERT GUIDANCE. What: a discovery call. THis is nothing more than a time to get to know each other, explain my approach and fees charged, and answer any/all questions you may have.

OnPlane Financial (and specifically Darren) was the best financial decision I've made. Always available and fully committed to my families success. His personal approach and open-minded yet VERY comprehensive analysis and advice is why I trust him to guide our future. I am recommending him to my friends and business partners and you should too.
