CFP®-certified, roth conversion strategy 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 have a Roth conversion on your mind, such as moving funds from a traditional retirement account to a Roth to manage future taxes, it's crucial to consider more than just this year's tax bill. A common mistake is treating Roth conversions as a one-time tax event rather than a multi-year strategy.
CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in retirement and tax planning, which helps them navigate the complexities of Roth conversions.
- Federal tax focus. Since Florida has no state income tax, ask how they optimize your federal tax situation during conversions.
- Long-term tax impact. Confirm they consider how conversions affect your tax brackets and Medicare premiums over several years.
- Account sequencing. Inquire about which accounts they recommend converting first and why, based on your overall financial picture.
- Property and sales tax awareness. See if they factor in Florida's property and sales taxes when planning your retirement income.
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
