About
Blackwater Financial provides investment management and financial planning to individuals (including high-net-worth clients) and small businesses. The firm manages roughly $46.5 million across about 38 clients and offers both ongoing and project-based planning engagements in addition to discretionary portfolio management.
Investment programs emphasize asset allocation guided by Modern Portfolio Theory and a mix of passive and active strategies, with the adviser typically granted discretion to implement trades. The firm also deploys third-party model and advisory platforms—such as Betterment for Advisors and the Altruist Model Marketplace—and may recommend outside managers while allowing clients to impose reasonable investment restrictions.
Distinctive aspects include its small adviser team and recent registration in 2024, a fee-only model with no stated minimum account size, and the explicit use of digital model marketplaces alongside traditional custodians (Altruist, Betterment, and Schwab). The firm does not aggregate or block client trades, does not accept commissions, and its principal holds the CFP® credential.

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
