Seasoned, tax-loss harvesting 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 have investments with losses that could offset gains, a tax-loss harvesting advisor can help you use those losses to reduce your tax bill. Without careful timing and strategy, you might miss opportunities to lower your taxes or accidentally trigger unwanted tax events. Seasoned advisors bring years of experience to navigate these complexities effectively.
- Loss recognition timing. Ask how they decide when to sell losing investments to maximize tax benefits without disrupting your portfolio.
- Wash sale rules. Confirm they understand and avoid repurchasing the same or similar securities within 30 days, which can disallow the tax loss.
- Portfolio impact. Look for advisors who balance tax savings with maintaining your desired investment allocation and risk level.
- State tax considerations. Since Minnesota has relatively high taxes, check how they integrate state tax implications into your harvesting strategy.
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
