About
Financial Management Strategies, Inc. provides advisory services to a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and pension/profit‑sharing plans. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, a suite of model asset allocation portfolios, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory and consulting services.
FMS structures portfolios around written investment policy statements, ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing, and uses a range of analytical methods (fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative) and strategies (long‑ and short‑term holdings, options limited to covered calls and protective puts) to meet client objectives. The firm may serve as an ERISA fiduciary for retirement plans (under Section 3(21) or 3(38)), performs fund selection and monitoring for plans, and provides participant education and workshops as part of plan services.
Distinctive features for a team of this size include operating from eight offices and offering plan participant seminars/workshops, both of which the brochure notes as less common among peers. The brochure also discloses a past regulatory matter: FMS self‑reported to the SEC under the Share Class Selection Disclosure Initiative concerning disclosure of mutual fund 12b‑1 servicing fees and share‑class selection and consented to an SEC Order (file IA‑5144); the firm also discloses that some advisory personnel are separately registered as broker‑dealer representatives or insurance agents and describes policies to address those conflicts.

Advisors at this firm
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
