About

Centric Wealth Management, LLC is an SEC-registered advisory firm that provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement-plan participant account management. It serves a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), trusts, estates, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities.

The firm constructs individualized asset allocations and offers proprietary model strategies (CWM Stock, CWM HQ2, CWM Tactical Quad, and CWM Income), using a mix of fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis alongside third‑party software and periodic rebalancing. For held‑away defined contribution participant accounts, Centric uses a third‑party order management platform (Pontera) to review and adjust allocations at least quarterly.

Centric’s brochure discloses several business relationships that distinguish it from many peers: members and registered personnel are registered representatives of a broker‑dealer (PKS), several advisors are licensed insurance agents, and the firm sells structured note products on a principal basis and may receive transaction‑based compensation, all of which the firm identifies as potential conflicts of interest. The firm is partly owned by affiliated tax/accounting entities (FGMK Advisory/FGMK LLC), and it recently noted a change to no longer vote proxies on clients’ behalf, forwarding proxy materials to clients for action.

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
