About

Cavalot Capital is a fee‑only comprehensive wealth management firm serving individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, families, trusts and small businesses; the two‑advisor firm manages roughly $64 million in discretionary assets. Its service lineup includes integrated wealth management, discretionary investment management, project and hourly financial planning, tax return preparation, personal trust reporting, administrative trustee coordination, and business consulting.

The firm combines fundamental company analysis with tactical portfolio adjustments and typically implements long‑term, primarily passive allocations while retaining the ability to manage portfolios discretionarily. Cavalot integrates ongoing financial planning and regular client reviews with implementation support, and it offers estate‑planning facilitation and basic cryptoasset guidance alongside trust reporting and tax services.

Distinctive elements include the availability of administrative trustee and supplemental trust accounting services delivered through a third‑party administrative trustee relationship, and the firm’s willingness to bundle tax preparation and business consultation into its wealth management offerings. Cavalot also uses a complexity‑based approach to planning fees and requires use of a single custodian platform whose research and technology support the firm — a relationship the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest.

Cavalot Capital

Cavalot Capital is a fee-only, wealth management firm serving clients nationwide from offices in Truckee and Redding, California. We specialize in working with business owners, multi-income households, and retirees who are looking for a more integrated approach to financial planning. Many of our clients have complex situations that involve multiple income streams, equity compensation, real estate, or retirement transitions, and they value having a single, trusted partner to help bring clarity and coordination. Our services combine financial planning, investment management, and proactive tax strategy under one roof. By bundling these areas together, we help clients reduce friction, avoid costly surprises, and ensure more of what they earn goes towards their life goals and financial objectives. The value we offer is rooted in transparency, responsiveness, and practical guidance. Clients come to us because they want a clear plan for the future that adapts as life changes, and to have a financial expert on retainer to make sense of it all. Our goal is to help each client make better financial decisions, gain back time and peace of mind, and feel confident that their money is aligned with the life they want to live. Damian currently lives around Lake Tahoe, CA and spends most of his down time ski racing and trail running.

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
