About

Kimelman & Baird provides discretionary portfolio management and related financial planning for individuals, families, trusts, charitable organizations and institutional clients, including advice for certain retirement plans subject to ERISA. The firm delivers these services primarily through separately managed accounts held with qualified custodians and also offers a digitally delivered financial guidance tool (FinLife) as part of its advisory relationships.

The firm typically exercises full discretionary authority to implement client investment policies, using fundamental and technical analysis and a mix of long- and short-term strategies tailored to client objectives, tax status and risk tolerance. Clients may be billed under an asset-based fee program that covers trading or an asset-and-transaction fee program that combines advisory fees with per-share transaction charges; under the latter the firm may act as the executing broker.

Kimelman & Baird is dually registered as a broker-dealer and, by virtue of common ownership, executes certain client trades and retains transaction-based compensation on those accounts — a relationship and conflict acknowledged in its brochure. The firm manages roughly $1.48 billion in discretionary assets with a small advisory team, and its ADV discloses multiple past regulatory actions (NASD matters resolved in 2000, 2005, 2006 and 2010), features that are uncommon among comparable team firms.

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.

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
