About

Cooper/Haims Advisors provides ongoing, fee-based investment advisory services and financial planning to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, and other entities. Services described in the brochure include comprehensive financial planning, tax planning and preparation, portfolio management, and the use of third‑party money managers and separate account programs to implement client strategies.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes customized asset allocation and an individualized Investment Policy Statement, a risk‑management overlay, tax considerations, and periodic oversight by a monthly investment committee; portfolios may include mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, bonds, and separate account managers and can be managed on a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis. Cooper/Haims also uses third‑party technology tools — including AI‑enabled transcription, summarization, and tax research tools — to support planning and documentation, with human review of outputs before delivery to clients.

Cooper/Haims is owned by ESL HoldCo, LLC, with ESL Federal Credit Union as the ultimate parent, and has affiliated entities that include a FINRA broker‑dealer (ESL Investment Services), an SEC‑registered adviser (Alesco Advisors), and ESL Trust Services, LLC, a limited trust company; those affiliations can influence implementation options and create potential conflicts of interest. The brochure also discloses that the firm offers tax preparation services to non‑clients, that certain advisors may sell insurance products for commissions, and that the firm can be deemed to have custody in fee‑deduction or SLOA arrangements and follows related oversight procedures (including third‑party surprise exams for trustee accounts).

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.

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 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
