About
Footlamp Financial (Kerns Wealth Management, LLC) is a fee-only registered investment adviser that works with individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, and pension/profit‑sharing plans. The firm provides investment supervisory services, financial planning (both one‑time and ongoing), and directs clients to independent third‑party registered advisers for portfolio administration and implementation.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes a long‑term buy‑and‑hold strategy and the use of modern portfolio theory as implemented by third‑party managers. Footlamp operates under both discretionary and non‑discretionary arrangements: third‑party advisers typically execute trades, while clients must generally approve changes to underlying program portfolios as set out in the investment management agreement.
Notably, Footlamp supplements standard custodial reporting with periodic written materials and participation in client education events and third‑party educational conferences, activities that are less common among independent advisers. As a solo CFP® practitioner, the firm also offers bundled, fixed‑fee planning services that coordinate accountants, attorneys, and insurance professionals for more complex client situations and manages roughly $23 million in client assets.

Forms ADV
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
