About
Lighthouse Financial Services serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as pension and other institutional accounts, offering discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting, and tax preparation. The firm charges percentage‑of‑AUM investment fees and also provides an Annual Financial Guidance service for clients below its investment minimum.
The firm’s investment process combines a top‑down macroeconomic view with bottom‑up security selection and places notable emphasis on asset allocation across a wide set of model strategies. Its brochure documents detailed model strategy descriptions and historical asset‑class allocation targets (for approaches such as Dividend Growth, Growth, and multiple fixed‑income strategies) that guide portfolio construction.
Distinctive aspects include a multi‑office advisory platform and a program of free educational seminars and workshops for clients and prospects, together with in‑house tax preparation and pension consulting that extend beyond typical portfolio management. The brochure also discloses that the firm provides advice on non‑securities matters (for example, insurance), reports Assets Under Advisement equal to its AUM, and outlines related referral and conflict disclosures.

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
