About

The firm is a small, fee-only independent advisory practice that provides personalized financial planning and investment management to individuals as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans. Services include comprehensive financial planning (cash flow, tax, retirement and education planning), ongoing asset management, and limited-scope hourly engagements.

Its investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation using a core‑and‑satellite framework, with passively managed index funds and ETFs as the core and selectively added active funds where opportunities exist; portfolios are globally diversified and implemented mainly through no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, and discount brokers. The firm typically manages assets on a discretionary basis under a limited power of attorney only after client discussions and documents objectives in written investment policy statements, with quarterly reviews and performance reporting.

Noteworthy distinctions include the provision of pension and profit‑sharing plan consulting, a service that is uncommon among similar solo independent advisers, and a very small client base—about 20 clients with roughly $28.9 million in assets under management—which may reflect more individualized engagement. The firm operates strictly on a fee-only basis (no commissions or product sales) and leaves custody and proxy voting to clients, while using custodial relationships and occasional custodial credits to support its operations.

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.

Find your advisor

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
