About
Cognition Financial LLC is a fee-only advisory firm that provides investment management and both ongoing and project-based financial planning to individual and corporate clients. The firm offers discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management and works directly with clients to develop written financial plans addressing goals such as retirement, cash flow, and business planning.
The firm’s investment approach centers on tailored asset allocation guided by fundamental, technical, and Modern Portfolio Theory analysis, and employs a blend of passive and active investments with a generally long-term orientation. Accounts are reviewed periodically, and the adviser coordinates with third-party professionals as needed to address tax, legal, or other planning considerations.
Notably, Cognition Financial integrates accounting-related services into its practice: supervised firm personnel provide tax preparation, bookkeeping, and fractional CFO services separate from advisory fees, and the firm’s principal holds CFP and Enrolled Agent credentials to support tax-informed planning. The firm also routinely participates in meetings or calls with clients’ attorneys or tax professionals when requested, which is less common among independent single-advisor firms.

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
