About

Barnes Dennig Private Wealth Management (BDPW) provides personalized investment advisory services, retirement plan management, and retirement plan consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, business entities, and retirement plans. The firm reports approximately $188 million in assets under management and delivers ongoing portfolio supervision, reporting, and coordination with clients’ other advisors.

BDPW structures relationships around a formal Discovery process to capture a client’s financial profile and investment suitability, and typically implements recommendations by engaging third‑party sub‑advisers whose strategies the firm selects, monitors, and reviews. Accounts are generally managed on a discretionary basis, with at least annual reviews and coordination with clients’ legal and tax professionals.

The firm is owned by Barnes, Dennig & Co., a full‑service accounting firm, and the brochure discloses a formal referral relationship with that parent, noting that some wealth managers are also CPAs of the parent firm and that internal referral compensation programs exist and are disclosed to clients. The firm’s disclosures also indicate its marketing materials include performance presentations — including hypothetical and historical results — and the use of endorsements, practices that are less common among similar supported advisers.

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
