Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Cates FP, Cates Tax Advisory or one who fits your needs even better.

Cates FP serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients with a combination of investment management, ongoing financial and tax planning, and tax compliance services. The firm also provides personal and business tax return preparation and represents clients before the IRS, and it manages client assets (approximately $48 million across about 70 client relationships as reported). The firm’s investment approach is primarily passive, using diversified asset‑class exposures (index mutual funds and ETFs) guided by client‑specific investment policies, asset allocation targets, and periodic reviews; fundamental and cyclical analysis are used as complementary inputs. Financial planning is delivered in modular, ongoing engagements with seasonal tax and planning workflows (e.g., a February–April tax focus and quarterly portfolio reviews) so investment decisions are considered alongside tax and cash‑flow objectives. What distinguishes this firm from many peers is the integration of a tax preparation and IRS‑representation practice (operating under a tax advisory DBA) alongside wealth management, a feature that is uncommon among independent RIAs. The brochure discloses in‑house tax services for both individuals and businesses and the firm’s use of specific plan platforms (e.g., certain 529 and ORP/TSA solutions), reflecting a practice that blends tax compliance and planning with portfolio management.
