Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Cogent Independent Advisors, Inc. or one who fits your needs even better.

Cogent Independent Advisors, Inc. (dba Cogent Private Wealth) provides financial planning and investment management to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small businesses and reports managing roughly $112 million in client assets on a discretionary basis. Its service mix includes discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, access to alternative and private investments, and a third-party cash-management solution (FlourishCash). The firm documents client objectives in Investment Policy Statements and uses fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis when implementing tailored strategies across accounts. For suitably qualified clients, Cogent recommends private funds and describes a structured approach to private-placement due diligence, ongoing manager monitoring, coordination of tax reporting with client CPAs, handling of private-fund cash flows, and integration of private holdings into consolidated performance reporting. Cogent’s operating structure includes related-business affiliations that are less common among peers: an affiliated tax-processing entity established in 2023 that shares supervised personnel, and an affiliate through which some supervised persons sell insurance and may earn commissions; these relationships are disclosed and addressed under the firm’s fiduciary policies. The brochure also highlights the firm’s use of an outsourced estate-planning platform (Wealth.com) and extensive disclosures on higher-risk asset classes, including blockchain and digital assets, reflecting a broader operational and product scope than many advisers of similar scale.

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 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
