Seasoned financial advisors working with clients approaching retirement in New Jersey
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’re approaching retirement and need to make decisions about income, healthcare, and lifestyle changes that can affect your financial security. Without careful planning, it’s easy to underestimate how long your savings need to last or overlook the timing of Social Security benefits.
- Income sequencing. Ask how they plan withdrawals to balance taxes, required minimum distributions, and cash flow needs.
- Healthcare cost planning. Confirm they consider Medicare options and potential long-term care expenses in your budget.
- Legacy and estate considerations. See if they integrate your retirement income plan with your wishes for passing assets to heirs.
- Experience with transition challenges. Inquire about their approach to managing the emotional and financial shifts that come with retiring.
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
