Howe Financial Advisory, LLC
Data sourced from SEC public records (and other sources when available). Refreshed weekly • Updated today.
About
The firm provides personal financial consulting, fee‑based financial planning and discretionary investment management to high‑net‑worth individuals and related entities (trusts, retirement plans, non‑profits and small businesses), though it currently manages assets for a very small number of individual clients. Investment management services are administered on a discretionary basis for existing clients, with custody and account reporting handled through third‑party custodians.
The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, emphasizing asset allocation, diversification and cost‑effective implementation using individual securities, ETFs and mutual funds; it favors selecting individual bonds to better control cost and principal fluctuation. Research is drawn from third‑party providers (including custodian research) and the adviser generally pursues long‑term, tax‑aware holdings rather than market timing.
Distinctive features include the firm’s very small, solo practice and an explicit policy not to accept new investment management clients, and the adviser’s continued use of CFP Board planning steps after retiring formal CFP® certification. Operationally the firm discloses no broker/dealer affiliations or soft‑dollar arrangements, does not aggregate trades, and maintains specific client communication and payment practices (it does not accept business text messages and certain consultations are limited to cash/check), along with documented privacy and data‑security safeguards.

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.
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
