About
Cole Wealth Management serves individuals (including high-net-worth households), trusts, estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations and business entities through a mix of financial planning, investment supervisory (asset management) and wealth management services. The firm’s four-advisor team manages roughly $181 million for about 280 client relationships and offers ongoing portfolio management, retirement and estate planning, and tailored financial planning engagements.
CWM describes a holistic, goal-based investment process that documents client objectives and implements actively managed asset-allocation models using no‑load and load‑waived mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and fixed income, with both discretionary and non‑discretionary arrangements. The firm employs fundamental and technical analysis, conducts periodic reviews, and may adjust allocations based on economic and market assessments while encouraging client-imposed restrictions where requested.
A distinctive feature of the firm compared with many peers is the integration of insurance sales and in‑house tax preparation into its advisory practice: representatives sell commissionable life and annuity products and provide professional tax-preparation services when appropriately registered, activities the brochure notes can create conflicts of interest and are disclosed to clients. The firm also notes formal relationships with insurance brokers to access rated carriers and a team with multiple advanced planning credentials, which supports its emphasis on coordinating investments, taxes and insurance in client plans.

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
