About
Intentional provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and related advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth clients, families, businesses, and institutions. In addition to standard investment management and retirement planning, the firm offers pension consulting for small employers, estate planning support, business exit/liquidity planning, and due diligence and ongoing monitoring of alternative and private investments for accredited investors.
The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical, and economic analysis to construct and monitor portfolios, with ongoing reviews and the authority to trade without prior client approval under a fiduciary duty. Intentional uses model outputs as one input among others and emphasizes continuous monitoring of performance and portfolio exposures, including dedicated review of private investment documentation and manager meetings for alternatives.
What is distinctive about Intentional compared with many peers is its formal offering of pension consulting services and its structured due diligence program for alternatives — services that are uncommon among similar-sized advisors. The brochure also discloses that, while the firm states it does not accept commissions or affiliate with product sellers, certain supervised persons are licensed insurance agents who may sell insurance products in their individual capacities, and the firm received transition assistance from Raymond James (including custodial, reporting, and technology support), a relationship the firm notes could create incentives to custody client assets there and is managed through disclosure and policies.

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
