Firstfruits Wealth Management

Too often, people are given more complexity, more products, and more jargon when what they really need is someone who will listen carefully, explain things plainly, and help them make wise decisions about the life they are building. FirstFruits was created around a simple idea: money is a tool, not the goal. The real questions are bigger than investment returns: When can I retire? How can I care for my family? Can I give more generously? What is all this money actually for? I wanted to build a firm where those questions could be answered thoughtfully, without sales pressure or one-size-fits-all advice. That is why FirstFruits is intentionally small, independent, fee-only, and built around long-term relationships. I work with a limited number of families so I can fully know your story, understand what matters to you, and give you straight answers without unnecessary jargon. My office is in Richmond, Virginia, where I live with my wife and two boys (with a baby girl on the way), but I work remotely with clients across the country.

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
