About
C.L. Sheldon & Company is a small, fee-only advisory firm that works primarily with individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering bundled financial planning, wealth management, standalone financial planning/consulting, and financial coaching. The firm provides ongoing investment advisory services as part of those engagements and may also offer tax preparation on a separate fee basis.
The firm emphasizes asset-allocation-driven portfolios composed mainly of mutual funds, ETFs and individual fixed‑income securities, and provides ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing tied to each client’s stated objectives. C.L. Sheldon delivers these services on a non‑discretionary basis — the firm reported all assets under management as non‑discretionary — so trade execution generally requires client consent and may be limited during periods of market volatility.
Distinctive aspects include a small advisory team and a bundled, flat‑fee service model in which the investment‑management component is separately identified within the engagement; the firm is also seeking SEC registration. C.L. Sheldon commonly recommends a specific custodian platform (and receives related support services), uses funds that include those available only through advisors, and maintains practices such as not accepting proxy voting or discretionary trading on client accounts.

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
