Fee Only Financial Advisors,Ltd.
Data sourced from SEC public records (and other sources when available). Refreshed weekly • Updated today.
About
The firm is a solo, fee-only independent adviser that works with individuals and select organizational clients (including pension plans, trusts, estates and charitable entities) to provide financial planning, investment advisory and consulting services. It serves a small client base and manages client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
The adviser develops tailored financial plans and implements investment allocations primarily through mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, using fundamental and cyclical analysis and a mix of long- and short-term strategies; clients retain final authority over transactions, as the firm does not exercise discretionary trading authority. Custodial relationships are generally recommended with major custodians and the firm conducts periodic account reviews and can provide hourly consulting as an alternative engagement format.
What is distinctive about this practice compared with many peers is its compensation model: it does not rely on percentage-of-assets-under-management fees and instead uses fixed-fee and hourly arrangements, and it does not accept commissions or performance-based fees. As a long-established solo, fee-only practice with professional planning credentials, the firm combines hands-on, non-discretionary portfolio oversight with integrated planning and standard custodial support arrangements.

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.
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
