H. Jude Boudreaux, CFP®, founded Upperline Financial Planning in 2010 as a fee-only financial planning firm. The initial pricing structures and concepts of Upperline were based on The Planning Center, a fee-only financial planning firm headquartered in Moline, IL. As Upperline grew, the opportunity to merge with The Planning Center was presented and it was a natural fit to join not only professional colleagues, but personal friends from the Midwest.
