About
The firm serves individual clients and provides financial planning and non-discretionary investment advisory services, beginning with a complimentary consultation and offering tailored written financial plans. It reports managing about $33.5 million in client assets on a non-discretionary basis and does not take custody of client funds.
The adviser gathers client data through interviews and questionnaires to assess goals and risk tolerance, then provides recommendations across areas such as retirement, estate, tax, and risk management; clients generally must approve transactions before they are executed. Accounts are reviewed at least annually and upon material life or market changes, clients receive custodian statements, and the firm does not prepare additional ongoing account reports or vote client proxies.
Distinctive features include the principal’s active role as a licensed insurance agent (life, annuity, and health), spending roughly 20 hours per month on that activity and receiving separate commissions that the firm discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm’s emphasis on planning and advice delivered without discretionary trading, combined with the insurance-sales activity and its practice of forwarding proxy materials to clients rather than voting them, differentiates it from many independent peers.

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
