About

Golden Years Financial Advisors, Inc. provides financial planning and investment advice to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, covering topics such as retirement, tax, insurance, education funding, and estate planning. The firm does not directly manage client assets; it offers assets‑under‑advice services and connects clients with third‑party money managers while assisting with paperwork and periodic reviews.

Its advice and planning work use a mix of fundamental and technical analysis, result in written plans typically delivered within 90 days, and can be provided as bundled fixed‑fee engagements or hourly consulting. For discretionary portfolio management the firm relies on third‑party managers (including Gradient Investments, LLC) and conducts quarterly reviews of those managed accounts.

Noteworthy aspects disclosed in the brochure include affiliated insurance businesses that offer commissionable products, and a formal referral and incentive arrangement with Gradient that includes an annual participation program and disclosed ownership links to Meraki‑related entities; the firm identifies these as potential conflicts of interest and discloses mitigation measures. The brochure also records a recent material change updating a co‑advisor fee schedule and indicates no reportable disciplinary history.

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.
