About

Access Wealth provides discretionary portfolio management and comprehensive financial planning to a diverse client base that includes individuals, high-net-worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities; the firm reports about $539 million in regulatory assets under management across its accounts. Its services include investment management, ongoing financial planning covering retirement, estate, tax and insurance planning, and an account‑aggregation and reporting offering for clients who want consolidated views of holdings.

The firm applies Modern Portfolio Theory principles to construct diversified asset allocations and uses an Investment Committee to evaluate and select managers based on multi‑year track records, acceptable risk (standard deviation), historical returns and fee considerations; portfolios are monitored and rebalanced as economic conditions warrant. Access Wealth manages client accounts on a discretionary basis, provides quarterly reports and encourages regular communication and annual plan reviews to align recommendations with changing client circumstances.

The brochure discloses several features that differentiate the firm from many peers: some supervised persons are registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments and may engage in commission‑based brokerage activities outside the advisory relationship, a potential conflict the firm discloses; principals also have business relationships with and provide back‑office services to other advisory entities and maintain ownership links with a related firm (EKS), which the brochure notes as a source of conflicts that the firm seeks to address. The firm’s combination of paid account‑aggregation services, separate implementation relationships with selected managers, and the disclosed non‑advisory activities of certain personnel are presented as operational characteristics clients should consider.

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
