About

626 Financial provides wealth management, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates, businesses, and retirement plans. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management that can include ETFs, diversified mutual funds, individual equities and bonds, options, REITs, and alternative investments as part of comprehensive planning and ongoing client support.

The firm’s investment process is primarily long-term and grounded in both fundamental and technical analysis, with portfolios tailored to client goals, risk tolerance, and tax considerations; positions are typically held over time but may be traded for rebalancing or to meet client needs. Notably, 626 Financial discloses the use of derivatives and the ability to employ borrowing (margin) in separately managed accounts, and it may retain or recommend shorter-term positions or legacy holdings when appropriate.

What differentiates the firm among peers is that it sponsors a wrap fee program and serves as program sponsor/portfolio manager on a third-party platform, and it maintains institutional relationships with major custodians to access platform services. The firm also has affiliated entities that provide access to private investments and a charitable foundation, which it may recommend to clients (with related conflicts disclosed); as of year-end reporting it managed roughly $379.6 million across a small team serving a few hundred client relationships.

Not sure where to start?

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.

Find your advisor

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
