About
Johnson Lyman Wealth Advisors serves individuals, trusts, estates, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and small businesses, providing fee‑only financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, and project‑based planning engagements. The firm manages roughly $202 million across about 55 client relationships and operates with a two‑advisor team.
The firm’s investment approach centers on strategic asset allocation implemented primarily with mutual funds and ETFs for globally diversified, long‑term portfolios, while employing tax‑aware techniques such as tax‑loss harvesting and short‑term replacement trades when appropriate. It also advises on held‑away employer‑sponsored accounts using Envestnet Tamarac’s ByAllAccounts platform and offers ERISA 3(21)/3(38) retirement plan services including investment selection, monitoring, and participant education.
Distinctive operational features include a strict fee‑only policy with no commission‑based product sales, an explicit practice of not voting client proxies, and a documented succession agreement with another similar advisor to address continuity. Advisors are expected to hold the CFP® certification, and the firm’s combination of a small client base and relatively large assets under management results in a concentrated advisor‑to‑client ratio uncommon among 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
