Item 4: Advisory Business
Keener Financial Planning is a financial planning and investment advisory firm. We have been in
business since 2008. Jean Keener is the majority owner of the firm. In April 2019, the firm moved
from state to SEC registration. “Registration” means only that Keener Financial Planning has met
the minimum requirements for registration as an investment advisor and does not imply a certain
level of skill or training or that the SEC or any other regulator guarantees the quality of our services
or recommends them.
Financial planning advice is rendered in the areas of cash flow and debt management, risk
management, college funding, retirement planning, estate planning, tax planning, asset allocation,
and investment selection. We work with the greatest number of clients on retirement planning and
investment advice. About 50% of our time is spent providing investment-related advice, and 50%
on other aspects of financial planning.
Keener Financial Planning provides modular financial planning and investment management
services. That means the scope of our work together can be as narrow or comprehensive as you
would like. It can also be short-term or ongoing in nature. We determine the scope and nature of
the relationship in our complimentary initial consultation.
Relationships can be based on an hourly (usually flat-fee) project or ongoing retainer. In either
case, all advisory relationships begin with development of a financial plan. We work with you to
define goals and understand your values and preferences. Based on the scope of the
engagement, we then prepare analyses of the current financial situation and possible future
scenarios. Next, we present our written analysis and recommendations along with an action list.
For hourly (and flat-fee) projects, upon completion of this presentation the initial engagement is
concluded. You are free to call and ask questions or get clarification on the issues addressed in
the engagement for up to a year after the recommendations meeting at no additional cost subject
to reasonable limitations determined by KFP. You may re-engage Keener Financial Planning as
needed on an hourly or flat-fee project basis. Periodic financial reviews are recommended and it is
the client's responsibility to initiate this review. If the client has not signed a retainer service
agreement, this is the default relationship after the initial engagement.
For retainer clients, the process continues with KFP implementing the investments and
supporting you in completing any action items on your list.
For new clients, the retainer includes both ongoing planning and investment management services
Existing clients may have alternate legacy service options.
Investment management:
• Completion of investment account paperwork
Implementation of investment recommendations at an independent 3rd-party custodian
•
• Quarterly review of the portfolio for rebalancing purposes (including your outside accounts
like employer retirement plans) unless otherwise stated in your service agreement
Keener Financial Planning, Form ADV Part 2
January 2026
Page 4
• Rebalancing buy/sell trades are executed with your advance approval if we manage your
accounts on a non-discretionary basis; if we have discretionary authority, trades do not
require this pre-approval but will be consistent with the objectives stated in your Investment
Policy Statement.
Ongoing Planning:
• Support and assistance from us on implementing your financial plan including coordination
with insurance agents, tax preparers, and estate planning attorneys.
• Review and updating of your retirement plans annually, and more frequently if needed to
address changes in your situation.
• Review and consideration of other financial planning issues as needed including cash flow,
major purchase decisions, estate planning, consideration of tax consequences of financial
decisions, and insurance needs
• Updates from us as we identify changes to legislative or tax issues relevant to your situation
After the initial planning process, in-person or virtual meetings with retainer clients are scheduled
once or twice a year, depending on the service level elected. Additional sessions are offered as
needed.
We provide investment advice on mutual funds, exchange traded funds, stocks, bonds, certificates
of deposit, variable annuities, and variable life insurance products. Advice on individual stocks and
bonds is provided in the context of the security’s role in your overall asset allocation and financial
goals. Because each mutual fund or exchange traded fund has its own investment advisor,
selection of that advisor is inherent in recommending particular funds.
You are welcome to provide parameters for us to work within when we provide investment
recommendations. The most common requests in this area generally include a request for a
particular mutual fund family, the exclusion of exchanged-traded funds, use of environmental,
social, and governance criteria, or inclusion of funds provided with no transaction fee at a particular
brokerage. We can discuss any preferences during the initial consultation to determine if your
requests can be accommodated in advance of initiating the engagement.
Investment management services are provided on a discretionary basis for new clients. Some
existing clients receive services on a non-discretionary basis. The service agreement specifies
whether your services are discretionary or non-discretionary.
• Under a discretionary agreement, we will make trades based upon the objectives agreed to
in the financial planning process and outlined in your investment policy statement, including
any reasonable restrictions you may choose to place on the types of investments included
in your portfolio. It is your responsibility to notify us promptly regarding any change in your
financial situation or objectives or your investment account restrictions.
• Under a non-discretionary agreement, after we provide an investment recommendation for
your account, you need to provide approval prior to our execution of the trade. Please see
Item 16 for more information about discretionary authority.

Retirement Rollovers-No Obligation/Conflict of Interest: A client leaving an employer typically has
four options (and may engage in a combination of these options): 1) leave the money in their former
employer’s plan, if permitted, 2) roll over the assets to their new employer’s plan, if one is available
and rollovers are permitted, 3) rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), or 4) cash out the
account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences).
Keener Financial Planning may recommend an investor roll over plan assets to an IRA.
•
In the event the client was already receiving ongoing retainer services, the fee does not
change as a result of the rollover.
•
If the client had engaged KFP’s service on a project basis, the rollover to an IRA would not
result in any more or less compensation for the services rendered. If the client re-engaged
our services on a project basis in the future, fewer accounts to review would likely result in
less time spent on your behalf and lower fees.
•
If the client had engaged KFP’s service on a project basis but intended to switch to ongoing
retainer services in the event of a rollover recommendation, KFP would receive additional
compensation as a result of the additional services to be provided. Retainer services
include a broad range of services for financial planning and distribution management and
managing the assets from this account would be just part of that service. In this scenario,
Keener Financial Planning has an economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan
assets into an IRA that Keener Financial Planning will manage as part of retainer services.
There are various factors that Keener Financial Planning may consider before recommending a
rollover, including but not limited to: i) the investment options available in the plan versus the
investment options available in an IRA, ii) fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and
expenses in an IRA, iii) the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals
versus those of Keener Financial Planning, iv) required minimum distributions and age
considerations, and vi) employer stock tax consequences, if any. No client is under any obligation
to roll over plan assets to an IRA managed by Keener Financial Planning.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we
operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interests
ahead of yours.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Keener Financial Planning, Form ADV Part 2
January 2026
Page 6
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
Keener Financial Planning has established a business continuity plan to facilitate continued service
in the event of disruptive situations such as natural disasters, destruction of office space, or
prolonged loss of Internet connectivity at our office location. We have also documented a
succession plan in the event of the Principal’s incapacity or death.
As of January 6, 2026, our firm had approximately $479.0 million in regulatory assets under
management. $478.5 million is under discretionary agreements; $438,693 is under non-
discretionary agreements. The firm advises clients on approximately $1.48 billion, including the
regulatory assets under management figure.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Keener Financial Planning is fee-only. That means that all of our compensation comes directly
from you, the client. We receive no 3rd party compensation from commissions, products
recommended or referral fees. Being fee-only allows us to focus exclusively on your best interest
and provide objective recommendations to help you achieve your financial goals. It can sometimes
also result in lower total investment costs. All fees are negotiable at our sole discretion.
Financial planning fees are based on a rate of $300 per hour for engagements led by a Firm
Financial Planner. Engagements led by the Firm Principal are based on a rate of $380 per hour.
Existing clients’ fee quotes may be based on a lower rate. We are usually able to provide a flat-fee
quote for the initial engagement at the conclusion of the complimentary initial consultation. With the
flat-fee quote, as long as we stay within the original scope of our project, you won’t be charged any
incremental hourly fees.
Occasionally, a flat-fee quote isn’t possible when the complexity of the project is undetermined. In
these situations, we proceed with the project on an hourly basis providing frequent updates on
status and time spent.
To begin a financial planning engagement, you provide a deposit of the lesser of $500 or 50% of
the fee quote. The remainder of the fee is due at the conclusion of the recommendations meeting.
Payment by check or credit card is accepted.
The engagement may be terminated at any time by either party upon written notice to the other
party. If the engagement is terminated within 5 days of signing the client service agreement, no
fees would be due and any unearned prepaid fees would be refunded. Should client terminate the
engagement after this date, client is responsible and will be invoiced for any time charges incurred
by Keener Financial Planning in the preparation of their plan.
Retainer services are provided for a flat annual fee. The annual fee is based on the services to be
provided, the number of investment accounts, complexity of your situation, and household total
investment assets.
The minimum annual retainer for ongoing planning and investment management is $3,600. The fee
covers both financial planning and investment management, and the proportion of the fee relevant to
Keener Financial Planning, Form ADV Part 2
January 2026
Page 7
planning or investment management varies based on the client situation. There is no minimum
account size, but we believe that investment costs matter and should be kept low. In the event of
investment assets under $300,000, we would only offer retainer services if most of our fee would be
allocated to the financial planning services to be provided rather than the investment management.
Fees and minimums are negotiable at our sole discretion, and existing clients may qualify for lower
minimums.
For clients electing retainer services at the beginning of the relationship, the initial financial planning
fee is paid in addition to the ongoing retainer services fee for the first year. A $500 deposit is due
upon signing of the service agreement, and the balance of the initial planning fee is due when the
plan is delivered. After the first year, maintaining and updating the financial plan is included in the
ongoing retainer services fee.
Fees commence on the date we begin preparing the forms to open accounts at Schwab. Fees for
the first quarter of service are pro-rated based on the number of days services are actually
received. Generally, with your authorization, fees are deducted from your investment accounts
around the first of the next quarter.
If you request invoicing, invoices are generated during the first week of the last month of the
quarter. Invoices are due on the first day of the following quarter.
Retainer services may be terminated by either party at any time by providing a written notification
to the other party. Upon termination, the client is responsible for pro-rated fees for the quarter to
date and will be invoiced.
You will incur additional fees at the independent custodian where assets are held. The custodian’s
fees may include (but are not limited to) transaction fees, account fees, statement fees and fees for
additional services requested. A fee schedule is available from the custodian and you should
review it.
The mutual funds and exchange traded funds used in investment management accounts also carry
ongoing investment expense ratios which are part of your overall investment expenses.
We also conduct group education workshops on financial planning topics such as "Maximizing
Your Employee Benefits," Retirement Savings Strategies," and "Women and Money." Keener
Financial Planning may impose a fee for educational workshops. Generally, the employer, civic, or
nonprofit group sponsoring the workshop pays any fees charged by Keener Financial Planning.
Workshop fees are flat fees based on material costs and internal estimates for preparation and
presentation time at the standard hourly rate. In the event there is a charge to workshop
attendees, the fee will be published on the workshop announcement.
We may also provide advice to employers for their retirement plans. Advice focuses mainly on
the area of types of retirement plans, providing recommendations on plan providers, and
investment option selection. Keener Financial Planning provides this advice with the same policies
and fee schedule as engagements for individuals.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Keener Financial Planning does not charge performance-based fees or engage in side-by-side
management.
Keener Financial Planning, Form ADV Part 2
January 2026
Page 8
Item 7: Types of Clients
Keener Financial Planning provides advice primarily to Individuals, High Net Worth Individuals, trusts,
organizations, and small businesses. Occasionally we also provide advice to Pension and Profit
Sharing Plans.
We have no asset or net worth minimums for financial planning or investment management
services. However, we do have a minimum annual retainer of $3,600 for ongoing planning and
investment management services. There is no minimum account size, but we believe that
investment costs matter and should be kept low. In the event of investment assets under $300,000,
we would only offer retainer services if most of our fee would be allocated to the financial planning
services to be provided rather than the investment management.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
We use a long-term, passive investment strategy with a focus on matching market performance,
keeping costs low, and achieving appropriate diversification given your risk tolerance, time horizon,
and goals.
We use index mutual and exchange-traded funds with stock and bond holdings to implement this
strategy through a combination of domestic/international, small/medium/large market cap stock,
and short/medium-term bonds. Funds for REITS and commodities may also be used in small
percentages to increase diversification. We also use actively managed funds to target specific
asset classes where the value provided by the fund’s investment manager is deemed to outweigh
the additional costs of the active management. Based on academic research, small cap and value
stocks are overweighted in client portfolios relative to the broad market indices.
Funds for each asset class are selected based on a number of factors including cost, historical
performance, quantity of stocks/bonds in the fund, effectiveness of delivering the target asset
class, reputation of the manager, and overlap with other funds being used. In addition, the firm
selects the lowest cost share class available in a client’s account when recommending mutual
funds. The firm completes a structured due diligence process of all standard recommended funds
every 6 months, as well as when new information becomes available.
While we don’t recommend individual securities, we may offer advice on those that the client
already owns. This advice focuses primarily on concentration issues, tax consequences of selling,
and asset allocation. We may also consider analyst review and fundamental metrics in our
recommendations.
While we believe our investment strategy is designed to create the best opportunity for positive
investment returns for a given level of risk, it cannot guarantee that an investment objective or goal
will be achieved. Some investment decisions made by us may result in loss, which may include the
original principal amount invested. You must be able to bear the various risks involved in investing,
which may include market risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, currency risk or political risk, among
others.
Low-cost, no-load, index investments have the potential to be affected by tracking error risk, which
is defined as a deviation from the stated benchmark index. While small cap and value stocks are
expected to outperform the broad market index based on historical analysis, they may
underperform the broad market for extended periods of time.
Keener Financial Planning, Form ADV Part 2

As the firm typically trades each client’s portfolio individually rather than at the firm level, clients
may receive better or worse pricing on ETFs than other clients or employees on the same day
depending on market fluctuation and the time of execution.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Neither Keener Financial Planning, LLC nor any of its personnel have been subject to any
disciplinary events.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We are not affiliated or have a material relationship with any another financial industry entities.
Our policies require that we conduct business activities in a manner that avoids actual or
potential conflicts of interest between the firm, personnel and the client, or that may otherwise be
contrary to law. We will provide disclosure to the client, prior to and throughout the term of an
engagement, of any conflicts of interest which will or may reasonably compromise our impartiality
or independence.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal
Trading
Code of Ethics: We adhere to the CFP® Code of Ethics. A summary of the Code of Ethics'
Principles is outlined below.
A CFP® professional must:
1) Act with honesty, integrity, competence, and diligence.
2) Act in the client’s best interest.
3) Exercise due care.
4) Avoid or disclose and manage conflicts of interest.
5) Maintain the confidentiality and protect the privacy of client information.
6) Act in a manner that reflects positively on the financial planning profession and CFP®
certification.
We will, upon request, promptly provide a complete code of ethics.
At times we as individuals may hold positions in securities that may also be recommended to
clients. We may also buy a security for ourselves at or near the same time that we recommend
selling the same security to a client (or vice versa) based on the unique situation of each individual.
Because we don’t engage in block trading, we expect that prices for ETFs purchased or sold in an
employee’s account on the same day as a client trade will vary based on market fluctuation and
the time of execution. However, at no time will we receive preferential treatment over clients. We
Keener Financial Planning, Form ADV Part 2
January 2026
Page 10
enforce the applicable rules of the Investment Advisor Act of 1940 including the provision against
insider trading. We maintain the required personal securities transaction records for all employees
and require prior approval for trades in restricted securities.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
We do not have any affiliation with product sales firms. Specific custodian recommendations are
made to clients based on their need for such services. We use Charles Schwab and Co., Inc.,
member FINRA/SIPC/NFA when clients select discretionary investment management services. For
our hourly clients our recommendations may include Vanguard, Charles Schwab and Co., Inc. and
Fidelity.
In recommending custodians (or broker/dealers), we will take into account the range and quality of
services provided to the client. We may also take the following characteristics into consideration
when entertaining their recommendation.
• The provider's ability to minimize total trading costs while maintaining its financial health.
• Whether the provider can maintain and commit adequate capital when necessary to
complete client trades, respond during volatile market periods, and minimize the number of
incomplete trades.
• Whether the custodian is property registered and in good standing with the appropriate
regulatory body(s) having regulatory jurisdiction.
• Whether there are any current or pending regulatory action(s), civil claims, Criminal actions,
etc.
• Custodian's financial strength and stability.
• Operational and servicing capabilities.
• Whether they can search for and obtain liquidity to minimize market impact.
• Accommodate client requirements during unusual market conditions.
• Execute unique trading strategies.
• Execute and settle difficult trades.
• Account for its trade errors and correct them in a satisfactory manner.
Infrastructure commitments, such as technology.
•
• Proprietary and/or third-party research.
We do not receive fees or commissions from any of these arrangements, although we may benefit
from electronic delivery of client information, electronic trading platforms and other services
Keener Financial Planning, Form ADV Part 2
January 2026
Page 11
provided by custodians for the benefit of clients. We may also benefit from other services provided
by custodians, such as research, continuing education, and practice management advice. These
benefits are standard in a relationship with these custodians and are not in return for client
recommendations or transactions.
We do not consider potential client referrals to us from brokerages in the brokerage
recommendations we provide to our clients.
We do not direct brokerage for specific client transactions except occasionally individual bonds, for
which we may select a broker-dealer to secure better pricing for the client than offered by the
custodial broker-deal on an individual trade.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Account reviews and advice are completed under the supervision of a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL
PLANNER™ professional. Initial financial planning engagements for hourly (and flat-fee) projects
terminate upon delivery of the plan or advice to the client. After the initial engagement, if the client
has not engaged Keener Financial Planning for Retainer Services, no ongoing automatic reviews
are provided. While periodic financial reviews are strongly recommended, it is the client's
responsibility to initiate reviews or request additional advice.
Retainer clients with Investment Management services have reviews completed internally on a
quarterly basis unless otherwise stipulated in the client’s individual service agreement. The firm
uses investment rebalancing software to monitor and generate trades as needed to maintain asset
allocation within tolerance bands of the investment policy statement, ensure proper cash is
available in the accounts, optimize asset location, and capitalize on tax loss or gain harvesting
opportunities. Review with the client is no less than once a year, and it is the client’s responsibility
to make themselves available for the review meeting. Investment clients with additional outside
accounts are responsible for providing Keener Financial Planning with statements from the outside
accounts so that they can be included in the review process and overall asset allocation.
Portfolio analysis reports are provided when Keener Financial Planning is engaged to provide
investment advice during the initial engagement or an Ad-Hoc review. Account Summary reports
are provided on an annual basis to Retainer clients at the review meeting. The firm does not
provide ongoing performance reporting.
Clients will receive account statements directly from mutual fund companies and/or brokerage
companies in which they hold investments. These statements are typically provided on a monthly
or quarterly basis and as transactions occur.
Keener Financial Planning maintains model portfolios comprised of recommended mutual funds
and ETFs in varying percentages to achieve the recommended asset allocation. The percentage
targets are established in the financial planning process. Retainer clients each have an
Investment Policy Statement identifying their model portfolio and asset allocation percentages.
The mutual funds and ETFs are selected for the models based on the analysis process described
in Item 8 above.

Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We do not receive compensation for referrals from any third party.
We receive continuing education, case consultation, and educational materials/tools from various
mutual fund companies, insurance companies, insurance agents, attorneys, tax preparers, and
other professionals. Our policy is to accept only those services which enhance our ability to
provide quality service and advice to our clients. Any referrals we make for clients are based on
our professional judgment of the best service provider for the client’s situation.
We do not compensate any third party for client referrals.
Jean Keener, Trista Jacobs, Steven Myers, Samuel Pond, Elizabeth Shurtz, and Rachel Songer
are members of the Garrett Planning Network (GPN), a nationwide network of professional, fee-
only advisors. GPN members are committed to providing competent, unbiased financial advice to
individuals from all walks of life. GPN provides ongoing educational and operational support to
members and facilitates the sharing of best practices through its member community. Clients and
potential clients may be referred to Keener Financial Planning from GPN's website,
www.garrettplanningnetwork.com. Keener Financial Planning pays operational fees to GPN, but
nothing is paid to GPN for client referrals. Clients referred by GPN do not pay more for Keener
Financial Planning's services than clients who learn about us from another referral source.
Jean Keener, Megan Coyne, Samuel Pond, Steven Myers, Sterling Gray, Trista Jacobs, and
Rachel Songer are also members of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors.
Some Firm Registered Investment Advisors are also members of the Financial Planning
Association. Keener Financial Planning is also a member of the Greater Keller Chamber of
Commerce. Clients and potential clients may be referred to Keener Financial Planning from these
organizations, but nothing is paid to them for client referrals. Clients referred by these sources do
not pay more for Keener Financial Planning's services than clients who learn about us from
another referral source.
Item 15: Custody
We do not accept custody of client funds. All assets are custodied at an independent 3rd-party
custodian.
You must receive at least quarterly account statements from your qualified custodian. If you are
not receiving at least quarterly custodial account statements, please contact us at the number on
the cover page of this brochure.
For accounts where the client requests the use of third party Standing Letters of Authorization
(“SLOA”), the firm is deemed to have custody of client funds or securities. The firm in not required
to obtain a surprise annual examination of client assets; however, they are required to list these
accounts in Item 9 of ADV Part 1.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Similar to a limited power of attorney, discretionary authority allows our firm to implement
investment decisions, such as the purchase or sale of a security on behalf of your account,
without requiring your prior authorization for each transaction in order to meet your stated
Keener Financial Planning, Form ADV Part 2
January 2026
Page 13
investment objectives. This authority will be granted through your execution of both our
engagement agreement and the selected custodian’s account opening documents. Your account
custodian will specifically limit our firm’s authority within your account to the placement of trade
orders.
Non-discretionary account authority requires your ongoing prior approval involving the
investment and reinvestment of account assets, portfolio rebalancing, or for our firm to give
instructions to the custodian maintaining your account (i.e., wire instructions, etc.). Under a non-
discretionary engagement, you will be required to execute our firm’s client services agreement
that describes our limited account authority, as well as the custodian of record’s account opening
document that includes their limited power of attorney form or clause. Due to the requirement for
your pre-approval of all transactions, you must make yourself available and keep our firm
updated on your contact information so that instructions can be efficiently carried out on your
behalf.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
We do not accept authority to vote client securities on their behalf.
Item 18: Financial Information
We will not take physical custody of your assets.
Our engagements do not require that we collect advance fees from you of $1,200 or more for our
advisory services that we will perform six months or more into the future.
Due to the nature of our firm’s advisory services and operational practices, an audited balance
sheet is not required nor included in this brochure.
