About

Four Financial Management serves individual investors — including high-net-worth clients — as well as non-profits, trusts, retirement plans, and business entities, offering portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, participant-level retirement plan advice, and estate settlement assistance. The firm manages client accounts on a discretionary basis and also provides one-time or tailored planning engagements and participant consulting.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes asset allocation and customized strategies that include income, capital preservation, and tactical growth, and it uses both proprietary analysis tools and third‑party model portfolios. For managed accounts it requires custody with LPL Financial and participates in LPL‑hosted programs (Optimum Market Portfolios and Model Wealth Portfolios) and in select SEI model portfolios, while permitting client‑imposed investment restrictions.

What distinguishes Four Financial Management from many peers is its network of industry affiliations: its associates are registered representatives of LPL Financial, the firm sponsors a wrap fee program on the LPL SWM platform, and the owners maintain relationships with another registered adviser (Provizr), a tax preparation practice (Four Financial Tax Services), and insurance agency activities. These multiple affiliations and revenue sources are disclosed in the brochure and identified as potential conflicts of interest the firm says it seeks to mitigate while managing roughly $163 million in client assets.

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.

Find your advisor

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
