About

Financial Decisions serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as retirement plans, corporations, and charitable organizations, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, stand‑alone financial planning and consulting, and advice on variable annuity subaccounts and private investment funds. The firm generally implements client accounts through recommended custodians and charges asset‑based advisory fees in line with its stated engagement agreements.

The firm’s process begins with an assessment of each client’s objectives, after which Financial Decisions allocates assets, monitors performance, and recommends rebalancing as needed; portfolios are built from a mix of municipal and corporate bonds, bond funds, equity mutual funds, individual equities, and allocations to unaffiliated independent managers. Investment strategies include long‑ and short‑term purchases and, when authorized by clients, the use of margin, and the firm explicitly treats cash as an asset class with procedures for handling sweep and money‑market balances.

Notably, Financial Decisions operates from multiple offices despite a small advisory team, a configuration that is uncommon among comparable team firms and may reflect a distributed service model. The brochure also discloses a combination of services that some peers do not emphasize — including variable annuity management, recommendations of private investment funds, the use of independent managers, and representatives who are licensed insurance agents — and describes relationships with major custodians that provide certain non‑client economic benefits and documented conflict‑management policies.

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
