About

Caissa Wealth Strategies serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as certain profit and pension plans, managing about $297 million for roughly 153 client relationships with a six‑advisor team. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning on fixed‑fee or hourly bases, and access to private/alternative investments for clients who meet accredited or qualified investor standards.

Caissa documents client objectives in an Investment Policy Statement and applies fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis to construct and monitor portfolios, with annual reviews and event‑driven updates. The firm may recommend third‑party money managers, assists clients with account setup at Schwab Institutional, and delivers periodic custodian and firm reports.

Compared with many peers, Caissa publicly references third‑party ratings in its materials and conducts educational seminars and workshops for clients and prospects, practices that are relatively uncommon among similar team firms. Operationally, the firm maintains limited electronic access to client accounts (including stored credentials) and is therefore subject to an annual surprise custody exam, and it no longer votes client proxies except when providing advice on request.

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.

Find your advisor

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
