About

Empirikal Partners is a team-based registered investment adviser that serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as trusts, estates, charitable organizations and businesses, offering discretionary asset management, ERISA retirement-plan advisory services, and hourly financial planning and consulting. The firm reports managing approximately $87.5 million for about 199 clients and operates with a team of roughly ten advisors across nine offices.

Portfolios are tailored to each client’s objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance, with investment selection informed by fundamental analysis and a mix of long‑term holdings and trading as appropriate; the firm provides ongoing monitoring, quarterly account reviews, and non‑discretionary 3(21) plan advisory services including investment policy development. Financial planning engagements cover a range of topics (estate, tax, insurance, college planning, cash flow) and are billed on an hourly basis with deliverables typically completed within 30 days given timely documentation.

Noteworthy distinctions include the firm’s multi‑office footprint relative to its team size and disclosed affiliations that extend beyond advisory services: affiliated representatives act as licensed insurance agents and as registered representatives of a broker‑dealer, and the brochure discloses related outside compensation and conflicts of interest with policies intended to mitigate them. The firm’s ADV also discloses a material event — a 2018 FINRA arbitration involving promissory notes that resulted in an award of $253,736.24 (plus $6,750 to the panel) — and describes compliance controls such as a Code of Ethics, personal trading reviews, and custodian‑related disclosures.

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
