About

Aquila Wealth Advisors manages about $20.7 million for a small client base that includes individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, charitable organizations, corporations, and employer‑sponsored retirement plans. The firm offers investment management plus both comprehensive subscription planning and project-based financial planning across areas such as retirement, estate, tax, cash flow and business planning.

The firm develops individualized investment plans with asset‑allocation targets and implements portfolios using a mix of passive index funds, third‑party/outside managers (TAMPs), and security selection informed by both fundamental and technical analysis. Clients who subscribe to comprehensive planning receive ongoing access to a planner, periodic monitoring and annual plan reviews, and coordination with outside professionals when appropriate.

Aquila Wealth’s public educational programming is a notable feature: it routinely conducts seminars and speaking engagements on financial topics (sometimes provided pro‑bono) and makes clear those sessions are educational rather than personalized advice — a service offering that is uncommon among peers. The adviser also provides employee benefit plan services and conducts due diligence on outside managers, and it participates on an institutional custody platform that supplies practice support and research resources the firm discloses as potential benefits.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
