CFP®-certified financial advisors working with founders and business owners in New York
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 started or acquired a business, you need an advisor who understands how to align your personal and business finances. A common mistake is treating your business and personal wealth as separate, missing opportunities to optimize both together. CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, including business owner needs.
- Business cash flow insight. Ask how they incorporate your business income and expenses into your overall financial plan.
- Estate tax awareness. Confirm they consider New York's estate tax cliff, which can cause large tax bills just above exemption limits.
- Retirement plan integration. See if they help choose or coordinate retirement plans that benefit both you and your business.
- Succession planning. Check how they approach transferring or selling your business to protect your financial future.
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
