CFP®-certified, tax-loss harvesting financial advisors in Texas
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 consider tax-loss harvesting if you have investments with losses that could offset gains or reduce taxable income. Without careful timing and understanding of IRS rules, you risk triggering a wash sale, which disallows the tax benefit.
- Wash sale awareness. Confirm how the advisor avoids repurchasing the same or substantially identical securities within 30 days, which would negate the tax loss.
- Federal tax focus. Since Texas has no state income tax, ask how they prioritize federal tax implications alongside property and sales taxes.
- Portfolio impact. Understand how they balance harvesting losses without disrupting your long-term investment strategy or increasing risk.
- Coordination with tax preparer. Tax-loss harvesting affects your tax return; check how the advisor collaborates with your tax professional to ensure accurate reporting.
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
