Seasoned financial advisors working with founders and business owners in Seattle, 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.
If you recently started or acquired a business, you need an advisor who understands how to align your personal and business finances effectively. A common mistake is treating your business and personal wealth as separate, missing opportunities to optimize taxes and growth.
- Integrated financial planning. Look for advisors who consider your business cash flow alongside your personal goals, not just one or the other.
- Tax-aware strategies. Since Washington taxes long-term capital gains above certain thresholds, ask how they help manage both federal and state tax impacts.
- Exit and succession insight. Confirm they can guide you through business sale or transition planning, not just daily operations.
- Experience with founders. Seasoned advisors here have decades of experience navigating the unique challenges founders face in Seattle's market.
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
