About
Ginsberg Financial Strategies provides portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting and selection-of-other-advisers services primarily to individual and high-net-worth clients, and also serves pension and profit-sharing plans and other business entities. The firm implements client portfolios through model portfolios and third-party money managers, including participation in SEI Investment Management Corporation’s managed account and mutual fund model programs.
The firm generally operates on a non-discretionary basis, gathering client objectives and making tailored recommendations while relying on SEI models and selected third-party managers for portfolio construction, monitoring, and periodic rebalancing. Client accounts are reviewed at least annually and in response to events such as contributions, withdrawals, or market-moving developments, with financial planning delivered as either fixed-fee or hourly engagements.
Distinctive features include that virtually all assets are managed on a non-discretionary basis (the brochure reports $0 discretionary and approximately $74.8 million non-discretionary as of January 14, 2026), a structure that is uncommon among peers in this category. The firm is affiliated with an insurance agency and the principal is a licensed insurance agent and CFP certificant (and holds a law degree), which the firm discloses as creating potential conflicts when insurance products are recommended.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
