Flat-fee, equity Recipients (RS/RSU, SOP, ESPP) financial advisors in Minnesota
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 recently received RSUs (restricted stock units) or stock options as part of your compensation, you need an advisor who understands how to manage these assets without triggering unexpected taxes or missed opportunities. A common mistake is treating equity awards like regular investments, which can lead to costly tax consequences.
- Tax timing insight. Ask how they plan sales around vesting and tax events to minimize your tax bill.
- Exercise strategy guidance. Confirm they explain when and how to exercise options to balance risk and reward.
- Flat-fee clarity. Understand exactly what services are included in their flat fee to avoid surprise costs.
- Liquidity planning. Check how they help you manage cash flow needs when your equity isn't yet liquid.
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
