About
The firm provides comprehensive financial planning (ongoing and project-based) and investment advisory services to individuals, businesses, and high‑net‑worth clients, and also offers employee benefit plan advisory services for employer‑sponsored retirement plans and public seminars. It implements investment management through third‑party money managers and custodians and offers estate document facilitation as an ancillary, project‑level service with a third‑party scrivener.
The adviser primarily favors passive portfolio construction implemented via recommended outside managers and monitors those managers’ holdings, strategies, and compliance as part of periodic risk assessments; it may also act as a co‑advisor when using certain platforms. Clients engaging in ongoing planning receive continuous access to the adviser with quarterly check‑ins and coordinated referrals or participation with attorneys and tax professionals as needed.
Noteworthy for a solo, state‑registered independent adviser, the firm explicitly provides services to employer/plan sponsors and other business clients and administers employee benefit plan reviews—client types more commonly handled by larger firms. The practice manages about $14.7 million across a small client base and documents its use of institutional platforms (Betterment Institutional and GeoWealth/Schwab) and third‑party estate‑document services, producing a concentrated, implementation‑focused relationship distinct from many peers.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
