About

Parkwoods Wealth Partners works with individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), qualified retirement plans, not‑for‑profit organizations, foundations, and corporations to provide investment management, retirement plan consulting, and financial planning, as well as employee financial‑wellness services. The firm delivers both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, may engage sub‑advisors, and offers project‑based or ongoing financial planning engagements.

The firm’s investment approach is long‑term and grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and efficient‑market principles, favoring diversified allocations implemented principally with mutual funds, ETFs (including Dimensional funds), and conservative fixed‑income ladders; client objectives and constraints are documented in Investment Policy Statements and asset allocation may be evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation. Portfolios are monitored and rebalanced as appropriate, and plan engagements can include ERISA 3(38) discretionary services or participant education and advice under ERISA 3(21).

Compared with many team firms, Parkwoods is affiliated with an accounting firm (Shore & Company, P.C.), operates an educational media offering (3MinuteMoney), and offers a packaged employee financial‑wellness program for employers, which together extend its advisory and education capabilities beyond typical portfolio management. The firm also provides a shared‑services platform to other RIAs and discloses the use of third‑party marketing and introduction arrangements—features and a multi‑office operational footprint that are less common among 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.

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
