Independent financial advisors working with clients approaching retirement in Loveland, CO
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.
You might be approaching retirement if you're planning to stop working soon and want to ensure your savings last. A common mistake is underestimating how long your money needs to support you, which can lead to running out of funds too early. Independent advisors here focus solely on your needs without ties to larger firms, which can mean more personalized attention.
- Income timing strategies. Ask how they plan withdrawals to balance your income needs with tax efficiency.
- Social Security guidance. Confirm they help decide the best age to start benefits based on your full financial picture.
- Healthcare cost planning. Look for advisors who incorporate potential medical expenses into your retirement budget.
- Investment risk adjustment. Ensure they adjust your portfolio to reduce risk as you near retirement, protecting your nest egg.

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
