About
Hummer Financial Advisory Services, Inc. provides discretionary investment supervisory services and a range of financial planning engagements, including brief, limited, and comprehensive written plans. Clients include individuals, grantor and irrevocable trusts, IRAs, participants in self-directed 401(k) and profit-sharing plans, corporations, and charitable organizations and trusts.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes tax-aware, buy-and-hold strategies implemented primarily through directly held stocks and laddered, high-quality bonds, with mutual funds used selectively for areas like international or small-cap exposure. Portfolio construction and trading are designed to control the timing of taxable events, and the adviser prepares detailed year‑end tax schedules and maintains adjusted cost-basis records while coordinating with clients’ tax preparers.
A distinctive feature is the operational linkage to accounting and tax resources: the firm’s president operates a separate CPA practice and maintains the costbasis.com website, which supports in-house cost‑basis expertise and tax reporting for clients. The firm also accepts charitable organization clients and provides specialized engagements (including forensic asset review in divorce situations), and it manages roughly $196 million in client assets while maintaining a $1 million typical account threshold.

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
