CFP®-certified financial advisors working with professional athletes 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're a professional athlete, your career earnings and financial timeline can be very different from typical clients. Without an advisor who understands the unique income patterns and career length of athletes, you risk mismanaging cash flow and missing key planning opportunities. CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, which can help you navigate complex decisions.
- Career income timing. Ask how they plan for fluctuating earnings and the short career span common in sports.
- Post-career transition. Confirm they help model income and expenses after your athletic career ends.
- Estate tax awareness. New York's estate tax cliff can cause large bills just above exemption limits; see how they address this risk.
- Contract and endorsement insight. Check if they consider contract structures and endorsement deals in your financial plan.
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
