About
Financial Alternatives, Inc. advises individuals, retirement plans, business entities, trusts, estates and charitable organizations, serving both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth clients. The firm manages about $615 million in client assets and is run by a six‑person advisory team; it provides discretionary portfolio management and stand‑alone wealth advisory and financial planning services and may recommend unaffiliated third‑party or independent managers.
Portfolios are typically diversified across U.S. and international equities, REITs, fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs, and the firm implements long‑term, short‑term and trading strategies as appropriate, with the potential use of options and short sales. Financial Alternatives conducts ongoing supervisory reviews, offers fee‑based planning engagements, and can aggregate client-held assets on account‑reporting platforms (eMoney or similar) that include assets not managed directly by the firm.
A notable, and relatively uncommon, practice disclosed in the brochure is the firm’s handling of borrowing: it permits margin and pledged‑asset loans and includes margined account value when calculating advisory fees, while stating it does not recommend margin for investment purposes and will generally limit borrowing to specific short‑term needs. The firm also works with private investment funds, may use interval funds, and advises clients on cryptocurrency exposure through exchange‑traded securities or third‑party managers rather than making discretionary crypto purchases.

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
