Seasoned 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 the unique financial challenges founders face, like balancing personal and business cash flow. A common mistake is treating your business finances separately from your personal goals, which can lead to missed tax savings or growth opportunities. Seasoned advisors bring decades of experience navigating these complexities, helping you align your business strategy with your financial future.
- Integrated financial planning. Look for advisors who connect your business income and expenses with your personal financial goals, not just one or the other.
- Tax strategy awareness. Confirm they understand how estate tax cliffs in New York can impact your business succession and personal wealth.
- Exit and succession insight. Ask how they help founders plan for selling or passing on their business without unexpected tax burdens.
- Cash flow management. Ensure they consider both your business’s and your household’s cash flow needs when advising on investments or debt.

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
