About
The firm provides financial planning, third‑party manager recommendations, and retirement plan consulting to a client mix that includes pension and profit‑sharing plan sponsors, plan participants, corporations, and high‑net‑worth individuals. It does not provide discretionary portfolio management for individual accounts and reported no assets under management as of year‑end 2025.
The adviser develops written financial plans based on in‑depth interviews and a mix of economic, quantitative, fundamental and mutual fund/ETF analysis, with implementation left to clients or to outside managers it recommends. When referring clients to third‑party managers the firm discloses solicitation arrangements, conducts due diligence and monitors manager performance, while retaining no custody or proxy‑voting authority and no discretionary control over client accounts.
Noteworthy distinctions include a licensed insurance practice that sells life and fixed insurance products and may generate commission compensation for those sales; the brochure discloses this potential conflict and describes mitigation steps. The firm also provides ERISA‑focused retirement plan fiduciary consulting services (IPS preparation, QDIA advice, investment due diligence and participant enrollment), a service set that is less common among solo independent advisers who primarily offer individual portfolio management.

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.
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
