About
Bedel Financial Consulting provides customized portfolio management and financial planning to private individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, institutions and retirement plans. The firm is a fee‑only, registered investment adviser that generally manages client accounts on a discretionary basis and operates under a fiduciary standard for retirement accounts.
The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical and quantitative analysis and can be implemented across a wide set of instruments and strategies, including long and short purchases, short‑term trading, short sales, margin transactions, options strategies (covered, uncovered and spreads) and structured notes; Bedel also may recommend separately managed accounts and third‑party managers. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and the adviser describes procedures to seek best execution and to allocate aggregated trades across client accounts.
What is distinctive relative to many peers is that Bedel’s managed accounts may employ derivatives and borrowing (margin) as part of implementation, and the firm’s marketing materials include client testimonials and advertised third‑party ratings. The brochure also documents operational practices — such as occasional possession of client checks and access to client login credentials — that have prompted specific custody safeguards, including independent annual surprise examinations.

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 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
