About
Paoli Financial Advisors provides ongoing asset management and retirement-plan consulting to a small, concentrated client base, with roughly $10.7 million in assets under management across nine client relationships. The firm works with high‑net‑worth individuals and plan sponsors, offering portfolio management, investment policy development, and both fiduciary and non‑fiduciary retirement plan services including participant education and due‑diligence reviews.
The firm typically constructs diversified portfolios using mutual funds and fundamental analysis, and it manages accounts on a non‑discretionary basis, requiring client approval before implementing trades and conducting at least quarterly reviews. Its advisory work emphasizes individualized planning and client‑directed investment restrictions rather than delegated trading authority or the use of third‑party money managers.
Distinctive features noted in the brochure include that the firm’s principals also operate an affiliated law practice and an affiliated accounting firm and may provide or refer clients to legal and tax/accounting services, arrangements the brochure discloses as potential conflicts of interest. Combined with the firm’s small scale, concentrated client roster, and primarily non‑discretionary management model, these affiliations and cross‑referral practices differentiate it from many 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
