Seasoned financial advisors working with retirees in Redmond, WA
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 be transitioning into retirement or already retired and looking to manage your income and assets effectively. A common mistake is underestimating how taxes, healthcare costs, and spending needs evolve during retirement, which can jeopardize your financial security.
- Tax-aware planning. Ask how they navigate Washington's unique tax landscape, including the 7% capital gains tax on long-term investments, to minimize your tax burden.
- Income sequencing. Confirm how they plan withdrawals from different accounts to balance taxes, cash flow, and longevity.
- Healthcare cost management. Inquire about strategies to cover rising medical expenses without compromising your lifestyle.
- Legacy considerations. Discuss how they incorporate your wishes for passing assets to heirs while managing tax implications.
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
