About

Hinton Financial provides advisory services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm does not directly manage client assets; instead it places clients with registered third‑party managers and serves as a liaison, handling paperwork, delivering disclosure materials, and performing ongoing monitoring.

The firm’s recommendations are based on information gathered about a client’s financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance and focus on matching clients to third‑party manager strategies and investment styles. Hinton Financial reviews TPM performance and client account statements quarterly and discloses the nature of its referral and ongoing service arrangements to clients.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include its operation as an affiliated insurance agency: principals are licensed insurance agents who spend a portion of their time selling insurance and receive commissions for those sales, a relationship the brochure discloses as a potential conflict and addresses through suitability assessments and disclosures. The firm also discloses that it receives an ongoing portion of TPM advisory fees and participates in an AUM‑based incentive program with its TPM partner; Hinton Financial does not custody assets or vote client proxies and says it mitigates conflicts through disclosure and its fiduciary obligations.

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.
