A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Direction Financial Management, LLC

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Direction Financial Management, LLC or one who fits your needs even better.

Direction Financial Management works with individuals, families, trusts, charitable organizations and small businesses, including retirees, professionals and small business owners. The firm provides fee-only financial planning and investment consultation—broad-based or focused advice on cash flow, retirement, tax and estate planning, risk management, asset allocation and investment selection—and does not sell commissioned products. For investment consulting engagements the firm generally favors a long-term, passive approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, emphasizing diversified index funds and periodic rebalancing, and will assist clients in preparing an investment policy statement when requested. Services are delivered on a project, hourly or fixed-fee basis (including an optional Private Client Annual Service for ongoing planning support) and do not include continuous discretionary portfolio management; clients retain final implementation authority. Distinctive aspects noted in the brochure include that the firm’s principal is a licensed CPA with CFP®, RICP® and elder-planning credentials and prior tax-specialist experience, which informs a tax-aware and elder-care-sensitive planning focus. The firm also conducts public and group educational workshops (often free of charge), is a member of fee-only planning networks, and does not accept percentage-of-AUM fees or commissions nor maintain direct custody or ongoing asset management for clients.

Find your advisor

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
