About

Align Wealth Advisors serves individual investors and employer retirement plans, offering asset management, financial planning and ERISA‑sponsored plan consulting, and placing clients into SEI model and manager programs when appropriate. The firm’s services include portfolios composed of individual stocks and bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and access to independent money managers, along with written financial plans and consulting engagements.

Align constructs portfolios using strategic asset allocation and a core‑satellite approach, provides quarterly reviews and rebalancing, and tailors recommendations to client objectives and restrictions. The firm discloses that it manages its regulatory assets on a non‑discretionary basis, meaning clients retain final authority over trade execution while the adviser provides guidance and monitoring.

Noteworthy features in the brochure include advisers who are also registered representatives of Cambridge Investment Research and licensed insurance agents who may recommend commissionable insurance and variable annuity products, as well as representatives who are licensed or non‑practicing attorneys offering separate legal services under separate engagement agreements. With roughly 205 clients, the firm reports an unusually high client‑per‑advisor load for its peer group and maintains custodial and platform relationships with SEI and National Financial Services.

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
