About
Cain, Watters & Associates, LLC provides financial planning, retirement planning and investment management to individuals, trustees and plan sponsors, with a particular practice focus on dental healthcare professionals. Its service set includes comprehensive financial planning, ERISA plan advisory, pooled trust offerings, unified managed accounts (UMA), separately managed accounts (SMA), donor‑advised fund management and referrals to tax and accounting specialists.
The firm deploys both discretionary and non‑discretionary solutions across multiple platforms, including pooled collective investment funds offered through its affiliated national bank and model‑based UMAs supported by an affiliated model and technology provider. It also uses third‑party model managers and tools such as OSAM’s CANVAS® for tax‑loss harvesting and provides ongoing trustee‑ and participant‑level advisory for retirement plans.
Noteworthy features disclosed in the brochure include formal affiliations with a bank and with related investment and broker‑dealer entities (T Bank, Tectonic and Sanders Morris) and an affiliated accounting practice (CWA Tax and Accounting / CFO Ortho), which the firm identifies as relevant to its recommendations. The brochure also shows that a substantial portion of its assets are managed on a non‑discretionary basis (roughly $2.65 billion of about $5.04 billion as of 12/31/2025) and describes specialized services for practice transition and DSO matters for dentists through affiliated entities such as 7 Pillars and NDP.

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
