About
FirstTen Financial is a registered investment adviser that provides ongoing and project‑based financial planning to individuals, including high‑net‑worth clients. The firm delivers written or electronic comprehensive plans and ongoing planner support but does not manage client assets or accept custody.
As part of its planning process, the firm typically bases investment recommendations on passive investing principles and modern portfolio theory while also employing fundamental, technical, cyclical, and charting analyses; it may refer clients to third‑party managers for implementation. Clients retain discretion over execution and custody, and the firm does not exercise trading discretion or vote client proxies.
Notably, FirstTen does not provide portfolio management services and does not charge percentage‑of‑assets fees, instead using fixed and project‑based planning fees and reporting no assets under management. The firm is newly established, operates on a fee‑only basis with no third‑party compensation or related‑party affiliates, and its principal holds a ChFC designation with prior finance leadership experience at a large insurance company.

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.
