About
Lamke Financial provides financial planning and investment guidance to a small roster of individuals, families and occasional small businesses, delivering tailored advice on retirement, estate and tax planning as well as recommendations for mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, individual stocks and real estate. Clients execute transactions through their own brokerage accounts, and the firm’s services are focused on planning and advisory engagements rather than custody or product sales.
The firm emphasizes a long-term, safety-oriented investment approach, typically using passive equity exposures such as index funds and ETFs alongside dividend-producing stocks and fixed-income instruments held to maturity (government bonds, CDs and money-market funds). Lamke Financial does not accept discretionary trading authority and recommends annual reviews at a minimum while leaving account control and transaction execution to the client.
A distinctive feature of the firm is its non‑AUM fee model: compensation is hourly or project-based (comprehensive plan fees are presented in the $3,000–$4,500 range) and it offers subscription blocks of advisor time instead of traditional percentage‑of‑assets fees. The principal is a CPA and CFP with more than 30 years of experience that includes Big Four accounting and senior corporate finance roles, and the firm operates with a small, hands‑on client base (about 15 clients).

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
