About
Kessler Financial Services operates as an investment manager serving pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and business entities, and provides advisory services that include financial planning, investment advice and the sale of annuities, insurance and other commissioned products. The firm’s brochure also describes work on tax, estate and cash‑flow planning and delivery of net worth statements and periodic plan reviews.
The firm describes a strategic asset‑allocation approach with globally diversified portfolios and uses multiple analysis methods (fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis) and third‑party research sources to form recommendations. Kessler Financial Services does not accept custody or discretionary trading authority for client accounts; implementation and trade execution are handled through custodians and recommended providers and clients maintain control of assets.
What is distinctive for an investment‑manager–type firm is the mix of client compensation and industry affiliations: the brochure discloses commissions and fixed or hourly charges rather than a typical percentage‑of‑AUM model, and notes affiliations with product sales firms and a related broker‑dealer through which employee trades are reviewed. The firm’s Brochure Supplement also discloses real‑estate brokerage and insurance activities and additional compensation from real‑estate services, which are less common among firms in this category.

Forms ADV
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
