About

CPS Investment Advisors provides investment supervisory services and financial planning to a broad client base that includes individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts and estates, corporations, pension and profit-sharing plans, and charitable organizations. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, retirement-plan advisory programs (401(k) and 403(b)), cash-management services, financial planning, and educational seminars.

CPS’s investment approach is value-driven and grounded in fundamental analysis, aiming to identify established companies with strong balance sheets, dependable earnings and competitive advantages, while generally taking a long-term view; short-term trading, margin strategies and option writing are used only when consistent with a client’s stated risk tolerance. The firm draws on third-party research services and, for plan work, engages third-party administrators for accounting and document preparation while retaining investment decision authority.

What distinguishes CPS from many peers is its integration with other professional services and its alliance model: the firm is affiliated with a CPA firm (CPS Group CPAs, PA) and operates a CPAlliance program that partners with independent CPA firms to deliver investment supervisory services, training, and referral arrangements in which participating firms share responsibilities with CPS. CPS also owns an independent insurance agency and a tax-lien fund entity, participates in Fidelity’s institutional platform, and provides class-action monitoring through Broadridge, reflecting a multi-disciplinary and networked service model.

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
