CFP®-certified, private / alternative investments financial advisors in Florida
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
If you're investing in private companies, real estate, or other alternatives, you need an advisor who understands the unique risks and illiquidity involved. Without that expertise, you might overlook how these investments fit into your overall financial picture or misjudge their tax implications.
CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, which helps them balance alternative investments with your broader goals.
- Illiquidity management. Ask how they plan for the fact that private and alternative investments often can't be quickly sold when you need cash.
- Tax impact awareness. Confirm they consider federal taxes on gains and income from these investments, since Florida has no state income tax but other taxes still apply.
- Diversification strategy. See how they integrate alternatives with your traditional assets to avoid overconcentration and manage risk.
- Wealth migration insight. Florida's strong homestead protections attract wealth; ask how they factor this into your long-term planning.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

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.
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
