About

Financial Security Solutions Corp. provides asset management (primarily by referring clients to third‑party managers), financial planning, and collaborative monitoring services to individuals — including high‑net‑worth clients — and pension/profit‑sharing plans. The firm reports about $68.96 million in assets under advisement, two advisors, and roughly 86 clients.

The firm’s advisory model relies on model portfolios and outside managers (including arrangements with SEI and AssetMark) and it generally does not accept discretionary authority, leaving trading and implementation to third‑party managers or to clients themselves. Financial planning and consulting are offered on an hourly or flat‑fee basis, and collaborative monitoring is available for accounts custodied outside the firm’s third‑party platforms.

Financial Security Solutions’ representatives are also registered representatives of Osaic Wealth and are licensed to sell commissionable securities and insurance products, and the firm receives portion‑of‑advisory fees from third‑party managers — arrangements the brochure discloses as potential conflicts of interest. The combination of predominantly non‑discretionary/advisory relationships, revenue sharing with third‑party managers, and additional services (insurance sales and optional tax preparation) distinguishes its business model from many similarly sized advisory firms.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
