About

Lumiere Financial provides investment advisory and planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plan sponsors, charitable organizations, and businesses. Its offerings include discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, bespoke financial planning and consulting, pension consulting, and the sponsorship or management of private investment vehicles (SPVs).

The firm tailors portfolios using firm model allocations, third‑party money managers, and both discretionary and non‑discretionary implementations, and it may employ advanced instruments and techniques across client accounts, including derivatives and margin or borrowing where appropriate. It also offers participant education and enrollment seminars for plan clients and has moved away from standardized planning tiers to customized planning engagements.

Compared with many similar team advisers, Lumiere is notable for operating an affiliated insurance agency and for having advisors who are registered representatives of a broker‑dealer, arrangements that permit insurance and brokerage compensation in addition to advisory fees. The firm recently introduced SPVs (disclosed in 2025), discloses potential conflicts from performance‑based compensation and third‑party manager referral arrangements, and reports custodial relationships and required custodians for certain 403(b) clients.

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
