About

Dopkins Wealth Management advises individuals (including high net worth clients), qualified retirement plans, trusts, and small businesses, and manages approximately $717 million in regulatory assets for about 289 client relationships with a five-advisor team. In addition to ongoing investment management and model portfolio services, the firm provides participant education and plan-level consulting for employee retirement plans, including ERISA fiduciary reviews.

The firm's investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and a belief in broadly diversified, asset-class-based portfolios implemented principally with no-load mutual funds and ETFs, including Dimensional Fund Advisors products, and conservative fixed income securities where appropriate. Dopkins Wealth uses portfolio modeling tools, Monte Carlo analysis for allocation and planning, offers discretionary management, and may retain Independent Managers (notably FPAS) or separately managed accounts and interval funds as part of client solutions.

A distinctive feature of the firm is its ownership by the partners of Dopkins & Company, LLP, an accounting and TPA services provider, which creates an integrated referral and service environment while keeping advisory and accounting engagements separate. The firm also emphasizes outsourced portfolio management and back-office support through FPAS, the use of SMAs for diversified equity strategies, and explicit ERISA fiduciary governance and analysis services that extend beyond typical wealth-management offerings.

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
