About Us

Client-focused fee-only financial advisors

Ames Planning Associates, Inc. is among the most highly rated and respected fee-only financial advisors in the country, advocating for clients since 1988. From our Peterborough, NH, office we meet with clients from the Manchester and Nashua area, the Monadnock Region, NH Lakes Region, throughout New England and beyond.

We are a select Paladin Five Star Advisor and have been recognized by Bloomberg Wealth Manager as one of the nation’s top wealth managers. Ames Planning Associates is a Securities Exchange Commission-registered investment advisor.

Attentive, personal approach to financial planning

Your initial visit begins with a thoughtful conversation about your life story, concerns and aspirations, to help us understand what is important in your life. We listen intently and continue these conversations throughout our relationship.

As fee-only financial advisors compensated only by our clients, we provide independent and objective investment advice. Our financial planning and investment advising services reflect our genuine, ongoing interest in you and the achievement of your life goals.

Specialized training, highest ethical standards

Although many advisors call themselves financial planners, each of our advisors has completed rigorous training to earn the distinction of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional.

As members of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA®), the nation’s leading organization of fee-only financial advisors, we have each taken an oath to act as a fiduciary, a financial advisor who pledges to work strictly in each client’s best interest.

Trusted Personal Advisor

A client’s wife walked into Harv Ames’ office and placed a sealed envelope on his desk. The envelope, she explained, contained love letters she had written to her children. Ames was the only person she trusted to guard the precious documents and deliver them to her children if something happened to her and her husband while traveling. For over 15 years, we have been entrusted with these valuable letters.
