Seasoned financial advisors working with clients approaching retirement in Rhode Island
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 need an approaching retirement advisor when you're planning the transition from work to retirement and want to avoid running out of money too soon. A common mistake is underestimating how long your savings need to last or misjudging the timing of Social Security benefits.
- Income sequencing. Ask how they plan withdrawals from different accounts to balance taxes and cash flow over your retirement years.
- Healthcare cost planning. Confirm they consider rising medical expenses and Medicare enrollment timing in your retirement budget.
- Longevity risk management. See if they model scenarios to ensure your savings last through a potentially long retirement.
- Social Security strategy. Check how they evaluate the best age to start benefits based on your unique situation.
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
