A complete list of active advisors currently associated with First Step Financial

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at First Step Financial or one who fits your needs even better.

First Step Financial is a registered investment adviser that provides comprehensive financial planning and an ongoing subscription advisory service to individual and high‑net‑worth clients rather than acting as an asset custodian or active trader. Its services include delivery of written financial plans, quarterly subscription meetings, and ad‑hoc hourly engagements, with investment advice that typically focuses on mutual funds and ETFs (largely broad index funds and select precious‑metal ETFs). The firm’s investment approach emphasizes modern portfolio theory and a long‑term trading horizon, recommending diversified portfolios built principally with index mutual funds and ETFs. It delivers tailored, holistic planning through individualized interviews, plan delivery, periodic reviews when engaged, and proactive outreach to clients when legal, regulatory, or economic developments may affect their financial situations. Notable differences from many investment managers include offering subscription and hourly fee arrangements while not charging percentage‑of‑assets or performance‑based fees, and reporting no assets under management as of the most recent disclosure; the firm also does not trade, custody, or exercise investment discretion over client accounts. The firm uses a client‑selected, flexible fee model for planning engagements and confirms annual subscription participation, practices that are uncommon among peers in the investment‑manager category.

Find your advisor

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.
