The firm offers separately managed accounts, access to third‑party asset managers and TAMPs, sub‑advisory and referral arrangements, private‑label model portfolios, financial planning and portfolio review services.
CIAS generally tailors portfolios to each client’s objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance and implements investment programs under written investment guidelines; the firm reports that the vast majority of its assets are managed on a discretionary basis (about $2.385 billion of $2.394 billion in AUM). Methods of analysis described in the brochure include fundamental, technical and charting approaches, and strategies may involve equities, fixed income, ETFs, REITs, options and variable annuities; clients may impose trading restrictions in writing where permitted.
The firm operates through a network of more than 100 investment adviser representatives who act as independent contractors and may market services under their own trade names, with advisory fees paid to CIAS and shared with IARs per contractual arrangements. CIAS is affiliated with broker‑dealers and other investment advisory entities and uses a clearing relationship with Pershing that provides financial benefits to its affiliates; those affiliations and the dual roles of some IARs as registered representatives or insurance agents are disclosed and are material considerations for prospective clients.

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
