About

Knight and Company Wealth Advisors works with individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, qualified retirement plans, charitable organizations and businesses, providing discretionary investment management, participant‑directed retirement plan advisory, and broader financial planning and consulting. The firm also offers limited‑scope projects such as cost basis work, annuity reviews, estate plan design and closely held business consulting as part of its service mix.

The firm follows a long‑term, asset‑allocation approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and favors broadly diversified, passively managed asset‑class mutual funds and ETFs—principally funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors, Vanguard and Bridgeway—supplemented by conservative fixed‑income securities when appropriate. KCWA uses portfolio modeling (including Monte Carlo simulation) to set targets, implements buy‑and‑hold strategies with low turnover, and may employ laddered individual bond portfolios via a retained third‑party fixed‑income manager for clients who need separate fixed‑income solutions.

What distinguishes KCWA from many peers is its close affiliation with accounting practices: the firm’s principals operate affiliated certified public accounting firms and divide substantial time between advisory and accounting work, and the adviser may coordinate tax and accounting services for clients (clients are not required to use the affiliated firms). This integrated advisory/accounting arrangement is relatively uncommon among similar supported firms and may shape how the firm evaluates tax implications and estate or business‑related planning for clients.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
