Seasoned financial advisors working with parents
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 might seek a seasoned advisor when your parent needs help managing finances related to aging, such as healthcare costs or estate planning. Without experience, advisors can overlook the emotional and practical complexities unique to elder care finances.
- Long-term care planning. Confirm how they integrate potential nursing home or memory care costs into your parent's financial plan.
- Medicaid and benefits navigation. Ask how they help coordinate government benefits without jeopardizing eligibility.
- Estate and legacy considerations. Look for advisors who discuss wills, trusts, and passing assets smoothly to heirs.
- Family communication. See if they facilitate conversations among family members to align financial decisions and expectations.
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
