About

Horizon Financial Services offers discretionary asset management, financial planning, ERISA 3(21) fiduciary services, co‑advisor arrangements, and assets‑under‑advisement consulting for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and businesses. The brochure notes the firm typically works with individuals and families who have approximately $1 million in investable assets and implements portfolios using variable annuity subaccounts, mutual fund platforms, and donor‑advised fund accounts.

The firm generally manages client portfolios on a discretionary basis and employs sub‑advisors and a co‑advisor relationship to implement and monitor proprietary model portfolios, while retaining authority to hire or terminate those sub‑advisors. Horizon describes its analytical methods as including charting, fundamental and technical analysis and uses both long‑ and short‑term trading strategies alongside comprehensive financial planning and plan‑level advisory services.

Noteworthy items in the brochure include the firm’s regular educational seminars and workshops on retirement and financial planning (registration fees up to $100) and its stated management of donor‑advised funds without charging an advisory fee on those accounts (clients pay the provider’s administrative fee). The brochure also discloses formal referral and affiliation arrangements with third‑party organizations (including an insurance marketing organization) and different hourly planning rates for clients with assets managed by the firm ($150/hour) versus those without ($300/hour), which are presented as potential conflicts and are addressed through disclosure.

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
