Steve C

CFP®

Dover, DE

CSG Financial

Steve has always felt that his role as an advisor should exclusively be to serve those who have put their trust in him and to do it to the best of his abilities, by any means necessary. So, he decided to take a step that many advisors are increasingly considering: 1. Transitioning to a fee-only model. 2. Requiring that all clients are always served in a fiduciary capacity. 3. Taking ownership and control of his practice. He believes this approach realigns his incentives with his clients' best interests and empowers him to develop financial plans free from undue influence. In his free time, Steve also serves on the board of the Societa Da Vinci, a local non-profit focused on providing educational grants and supporting cultural events around Italian heritage. Steve is also an avid traveler and hiker. One of his life’s goals is to visit all 63 US national parks among various other outdoor adventures like shark diving.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
