Todd L

CFP®

Fairmont, WV

Blackwater Financial

I’m a Certified Financial Planner and the founder of Blackwater Financial. I’ve spent a decade working in wealth management and creating financial plans. I’ve worked in firms big and small, and with clients from every walk of life. I’ve served engineers, physicians, graphic designers, attorneys, teachers, college professors, tech workers, blue collar workers and many, many more. I’ve held the titles of Financial Advisor, Team Leader, and Director of Financial Planning. Most importantly, I love what I do and genuinely enjoy coming to work everyday. During the first decade of my career, I became very disenchanted with the way most advisors serve clients who are still in the wealth accumulation stage of life. I created Blackwater Financial to fix this problem.

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
