About Cliff Brockmann, CFP®, EA
Hi, I'm Cliff Brockmann, founder of High Touch Financial Planning. I’m on a mission to bring flat fee financial planning to more households. I live in Denville, NJ, and my office is in the neighboring town of Parsippany.As a Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) and Enrolled Agent (EA) with nearly a decade of experience at top firms, I saw how the 1% asset management model quietly erodes wealth. That’s why I launched a modern practice built on flat fees—saving clients $100,000 to $1 million+ over their investment lifetime.
I was exposed to the financial advising world at an early age when I was in high school. My mother became a widow when I was a senior, and my sister was a freshman. My father was the sole earner in our household, and after his passing, it was a tough financial time. I saw the confidence my mother gained from having an advisor, but I also saw the costs—not only of high fees, but also of poor advice.
A flat fee structure eliminates many conflicts of interest, such as commission-based products or percentage-based fees, when there may be more suitable options. I believe financial advice is critical in helping individuals make big life decisions. Unfortunately, much of the industry still does not utilize a flat fee model and continues to view advisors as salesmen rather than planners. As a result, clients often feel they are being sold to rather than planned for.
That’s why my fees are transparent and easy to understand. It’s important to know you’re getting exactly what you paid for. I’m building a new style of planning centered on transparency and a holistic approach to financial advice—one that isn’t driven by product sales.
Outside of the office, you'll find me on the volleyball court, spending nights with family, or at a Giants game with my wife.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
