A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Copperwood Financial

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Copperwood Financial or one who fits your needs even better.

Copperwood Financial, Inc. provides fee-based investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, and it offers retirement plan consulting and ERISA Section 3(38) fiduciary services for qualified plans. The firm also operates Pro Athlete Wealth, a dba focused on financial literacy and coaching for athletes, and offers tiered financial planning (Tier 1 and Tier 2) as well as hourly planning engagement options. Copperwood manages portfolios on a discretionary, custom basis using a tactical allocation approach described in its brochure, employing a broad range of instruments including listed securities, mutual funds, options-based strategies, and interests in partnership investments. The firm discloses the use of third‑party platforms and managers — for example, a third‑party co‑manager for options overlays on concentrated positions, held‑away defined contribution platforms, and Flourish Cash for high‑yield cash management — and it provides ongoing oversight of those arrangements. The brochure highlights a few features that distinguish Copperwood from many peers: it discloses an affiliated insurance business (KLG Management Inc. dba Copperwood Insurance Services) through which representatives may sell insurance and receive commissions, it discloses use of client testimonials in advertising, and it notes that while the firm and its management report no firm‑level disciplinary history, certain financial professionals have had legal or disciplinary events. The firm also reports recent SEC registration (December 2025) and describes its practice of referring clients to specific third‑party managers (including Transamerica Corp. and American Funds Distributors) with Copperwood receiving its advisory portion of fees remitted by those managers.

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
