About
The firm is a state‑registered, solo investment adviser that serves individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates and charitable organizations with financial planning, investment supervisory and investment management services. In addition to portfolio management and employer plan allocation advice, the firm offers insurance review and placement and conducts educational seminars and workshops for clients and prospective clients.
Its planning process emphasizes a comprehensive approach that integrates estate, financial and tax planning, and it produces an Investment Policy Statement for managed accounts. The firm implements discretionary model portfolios using a mix of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and a broad set of instruments (mutual funds, ETFs, options and other structured or alternative products), and it may recommend and monitor third‑party managers for portions of client assets.
Compared with many independent RIAs, the firm discloses active insurance‑brokerage activity (life and annuity products), receives commission compensation for insurance sales and estimates about one quarter of business time is devoted to insurance services, and it offers free seminars that can lead to referral arrangements. The firm also discloses past disciplinary matters from early in the advisor’s career and a solicitor/fee‑sharing relationship with a third‑party manager, all of which are described in its Form ADV.

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
