About

Financial Insights Wealth Management advises individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, employee benefit plans, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm provides comprehensive wealth management and retirement planning, ongoing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, written financial plans, pension consulting, and advisory services for donor‑advised funds.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes asset allocation and fundamental analysis, with mutual fund/ETF screening and the option to use unaffiliated Independent Managers where appropriate. Clients are onboarded through in‑depth interviews to establish risk tolerance and goals, and accounts are reviewed on an ongoing basis across risk profiles that range from Very Conservative to Very Aggressive; the firm also offers educational seminars and workshops for groups.

What distinguishes Financial Insights from many peers is a set of ancillary programs and disclosures: the brochure describes a formal Bridge Program for retired financial professionals, complementary educational seminars, and in‑house tax preparation services (with fees waived for clients above the firm’s Wealth Management threshold). The brochure also highlights the firm’s promotion of third‑party professional standards—stating compliance with CFA Institute and CFP Board codes while noting those claims are not independently verified—and details donor‑advised fund relationships with multiple sponsoring organizations.

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
