About

Diversified Financial Management is an independent, fee‑only SEC-registered investment advisor that serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, businesses, and retirement plans. As of December 31, 2025, the firm manages about $338.8 million for roughly 139 clients and provides portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory services.

The firm builds customized, diversified portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities, fixed income, and access to alternative investments, and it manages accounts on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases with quarterly performance reviews. DFM takes a holistic approach—considering tax, estate, and retirement needs—and may incorporate liquidity solutions such as non‑purpose margin borrowings and pledged‑asset lines of credit secured by client accounts as part of its planning and implementation.

Noteworthy among peers, DFM explicitly offers and documents the use of borrowing against separately managed accounts and routinely provides educational seminars and participant presentations for retirement plans, practices that are uncommon for supported firms. The firm also evaluates and, when appropriate, recommends outside independent managers and discloses related conflicts and fiduciary responsibilities in its advisory relationships.

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
