About
CFS Investment Advisory Services, LLC provides financial planning, consulting, discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, and retirement plan consulting for individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities. The firm reported approximately $2.73 billion in assets under management as of year-end 2025 and generally applies a minimum portfolio threshold (typically $500,000, with exceptions at the firm’s discretion).
CFS tailors client portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, individual debt and equity securities and may allocate portions of client assets to Independent Managers, conducting ongoing monitoring and at least annual reviews. The firm documents client objectives, risk tolerance and liquidity needs, offers both percentage-of-AUM and fixed-fee billing options, and manages accounts on both discretionary and non-discretionary bases while advising on held-away products such as variable insurance contracts and 529 plans.
A notable and less-common feature is that one or more of the firm’s supervised persons are licensed insurance brokers who offer commissionable insurance products; CFS discloses this arrangement and the potential conflict while noting clients are not required to use those services. The firm also provides ERISA retirement-plan services that can include 3(21) advisory or 3(38) investment manager roles, uses third-party estate‑planning platforms (Trust & Will and EncorEstate Plans) for implementation, and regularly assesses Independent Managers — practices that involve separate implementation providers and additional third‑party considerations.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
