About

Hobbs Group Advisors LLC provides investment management, wealth management, financial planning, pension consulting, cash management and other consulting services to individuals (both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth), pension and profit sharing plans, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm manages approximately $584 million in client assets across both discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts and serves several hundred client relationships.

The firm's advisory process centers on client‑specific investment policy statements, risk‑tolerance questionnaires and asset allocation, with ongoing monitoring, periodic rebalancing and use of fundamental analysis and mutual fund/ETF selection. Hobbs Group implements portfolios through traditional, customized management and a digital investment management option that uses Betterment and independent sub‑advisers, while retaining supervisory responsibility for sub‑advised assets.

Noteworthy distinctions include an affiliation with an accounting firm (The Hobbs Group, PA) whose partners and personnel provide accounting services separately and receive client referrals in both directions, and management personnel who are insurance‑licensed—relationships the firm discloses as potential conflicts of interest. The firm also discloses the use of endorsements and client testimonials in its advertising, a practice that is uncommon among similar team‑based advisory firms, and provides ERISA pension consulting services including the option to serve as a 3(38) fiduciary when engaged.

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
