About

Carbahal Olsen Financial Services Group provides comprehensive and limited financial planning and discretionary asset management to individuals (including high net worth clients), small businesses, and pension/profit-sharing plans. Its services include written financial plans, model-based portfolio management, a Fidelity-based annuity management program, and ongoing performance reporting.

The firm uses a Core/Satellite investment framework, emphasizing low-cost ETFs and diversified strategic allocations as the core with tactical satellite positions to target specific market sectors, guided by modern portfolio theory and macroeconomic analysis. COFS also offers custom accounts and specific model implementations for employer-sponsored retirement plans that rely on actively managed Fidelity mutual funds or annuity sub-accounts when appropriate.

What distinguishes COFS from many peers is its scale and business affiliations: the firm reports approximately $257.6 million in assets under management, a level uncommon for firms of its advisor count, and it is affiliated with an accounting practice whose principals refer clients—a relationship the brochure discloses as a material conflict of interest. It also relies on a single custodian platform for client accounts and discloses other ancillary activities (insurance licensing, issuer board service) that the firm says are managed through its policies and disclosures.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
