About
Payne Financial Management serves individual clients with an emphasis on retirees, providing discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services, including fixed-fee comprehensive plans, annual plan reviews, and hourly consultations. The firm is fee-only and manages client assets on a discretionary basis, administering accounts through a recommended independent custodian.
The firm’s investment process is individualized: it uses an Investment Policy Questionnaire, illustrative materials, and periodic reports to establish suitability and guide asset allocation, and considers macroeconomic, business-cycle, technical and fundamental factors when selecting investments. It places emphasis on client education and uses those materials in meetings, and also offers occasional seminars or workshops to support client understanding.
Compared with many peers, Payne operates as a small, long-established advisory practice managing roughly $40 million for about 127 clients and does not maintain relationships focused on high-net-worth households. The firm maintains a conflict-avoidance stance—no outside affiliations, limited power of attorney for discretionary trading (but no physical custody), and it does not vote client proxies.

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
