About

Montgomery Financial serves individual investors — including high-net-worth and non-HNW clients — and advises qualified retirement plans, offering discretionary portfolio management, ERISA 3(21) plan services, and financial planning and analysis. As of June 16, 2026 the firm reports about $229.8 million in discretionary assets under management and a client base of roughly 950 accounts.

The firm delivers investment management primarily through AE Wealth Management’s sub‑adviser platform, using discretionary authority to implement asset allocation, select investments, and perform periodic rebalancing; MF retains the ability to hire and terminate sub‑advisors on that platform. It also provides standalone financial analyses and runs educational seminars and workshops for the public, and offers a 90‑day client satisfaction guarantee that permits new clients to terminate for a full refund of advisory fees paid during the first 90 days.

Noteworthy features that differentiate Montgomery Financial from many peers include its affiliation with other investment advisers via the AE Wealth sub‑adviser arrangement and an affiliated insurance practice — the managing member devotes approximately 40% of his time to insurance activities and may offer insurance products to clients, a relationship the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm’s combination of sub‑adviser delegation, public educational workshops offered at no charge, and an explicit short‑term satisfaction refund policy are less common among similarly supported firms.

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
