About
Claris Financial provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and investment advisory services for individuals, families, high‑net‑worth clients, small businesses, estates and trusts, and it also offers management for 401(k)/403(b) plan participants. The firm manages client assets using non‑proprietary investments placed in actively managed accounts and charges asset‑based advisory fees as described in its advisory agreement.
The firm employs a flexible, multi‑asset investment approach that combines fundamental and technical analysis across mutual funds, equities, fixed income, ETFs, REITs and, when appropriate, alternative and private investments. Private investments are handled on a non‑discretionary basis requiring client subscription agreements, and Claris may select third‑party managers while using cash and money‑market funds tactically; accounts are reviewed at least annually.
Claris’ brochure emphasizes investment management rather than standalone comprehensive financial planning, noting portfolio management and limited employer‑sponsored plan consulting (and a decision not to accept new plan sponsor clients). The firm also makes use of educational conferences and events made available through its custodian relationship with Schwab, a resource and engagement type that is less common among comparable team firms.

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 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
