About
Cline Financial Concepts provides discretionary investment management and fee-based financial planning to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. Services include portfolio construction using low-cost, diversified mutual funds and ETFs (with selective use of individual stocks or bonds), ongoing monitoring, and retirement-account guidance including rollover considerations.
The firm’s investment process emphasizes fundamental analysis and a generally long-term orientation while allowing shorter-term trading for rebalancing or client needs. Portfolios are implemented and monitored through third‑party platforms (including an SEI Advisor Guided platform) and the firm may link to held‑away accounts or custody relationships at client direction.
What sets the firm apart from many peers is its work with charitable organization clients, an uncommon client type for independent advisors, and its use of institutional platform relationships to access institutional trading, software and operational support. The firm manages a multi‑million dollar client asset base across both discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts while providing comprehensive planning components and referrals to unaffiliated specialists when appropriate.

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
