About

Mattson Financial Services serves individual and high-net-worth clients as well as employer-sponsored retirement plans, providing discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, retirement-plan consulting, and consulting on non-securities matters. The firm coordinates with other professionals and makes tax preparation available through an affiliated tax firm (Mattson Tax Solutions) and facilitates insurance solutions via affiliated insurance entities.

The firm follows an active, asset-allocation-centered approach that primarily uses equities, ETFs, fixed income, and cash and rebalances accounts on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis based on client objectives. Mattson utilizes third‑party model managers through a platform relationship (including a co-advisor arrangement with Gradient Investments) and generally manages client accounts on a discretionary basis within written client profiles.

Compared with many peer teams, the brochure discloses that Mattson regularly offers educational seminars and workshops, issues periodicals/newsletters, and uses testimonials in its advertising—practices the firm notes are relatively uncommon among similar advisors. The ADV also discloses a 2019 Stipulation and Consent Order with a state regulator relating to registration exemptions (resolved with a fine), outlines affiliated tax and insurance activities and platform/co‑advisor arrangements, and describes use of AI-enabled client systems with associated cybersecurity controls.

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.
