Top financial advisors working with high-net-worth individuals and 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 sold your business or are planning a major ownership transition, you need an advisor who understands the unique financial challenges founders face. A common mistake is treating your business finances like personal assets, which can lead to missed tax-saving opportunities and poor succession planning.
- Estate tax awareness. Confirm how they navigate New York's estate tax cliff, which can cause large tax bills just above exemption limits.
- Business exit strategy. Ask how they integrate sale timing and tax planning to maximize your after-tax proceeds.
- Wealth integration. Look for advisors who connect your business value with personal wealth goals, not just investment management.
- Succession planning insight. Ensure they address how to transfer ownership smoothly to heirs or partners, minimizing disruption and taxes.
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
