About

Hanson & Doremus serves a broad client base including individual and high-net-worth investors, trusts, estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, financial institutions, and charitable organizations, providing discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and investment-related consulting. The firm also accepts ERISA and 401(k) plan engagements and offers stand-alone financial planning and retirement analyses as requested by clients.

The firm constructs customized portfolios that combine passive index-based allocations with an active, bottom-up fundamental research approach, and it may implement options strategies, margin (at client request), and tactical cash positions while monitoring and rebalancing accounts on an ongoing basis. Hanson & Doremus provides periodic comprehensive reporting through ByAllAccounts and MoneyGuidePro (including reporting on excluded assets) and discloses the use of AI tools under a formal AI Policy, with all AI output reviewed by the firm’s investment professionals.

Compared with many peers, Hanson & Doremus operates from nine offices and a ten-advisor team managing about $1.06 billion in discretionary assets, an uncommon multi-office footprint for a firm of this team structure. The firm also publishes periodicals/newsletters and maintains formal proxy-voting and class-action handling arrangements (via Broadridge and Glass Lewis), and several professionals on staff hold CFA and CFP credentials, reflecting a mix of institutional processes and client-facing planning capabilities.

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.
