About

Pearson Financial Services is a team-based registered investment adviser managing about $885 million for roughly 500 clients and serving individuals and families, including high-net-worth clients. The firm offers non-discretionary asset allocation and portfolio management together with retirement, tax, and estate planning as part of an integrated wealth‑management process.

The firm follows a customized, consultative process that begins with an initial no‑obligation meeting and collection of detailed financial information to build tailored allocations that generally favor open‑end mutual funds and Vanguard index ETFs and that are typically held long term. Advisors present recommendations to clients and implement changes only after client approval, and the firm recommends a specific custodian for execution and custody services.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include sponsorship of a wrap‑fee program and the presence of advisory representatives who are dually registered with a broker‑dealer and hold insurance licenses, which means commission and trailing‑commission compensation can occur in addition to asset‑based fees. The firm also discloses affiliations with legal and accounting practices and offers referral arrangements and separate fee‑for‑service tax and legal work, concentrating investment, tax, and estate capabilities under one advisory structure.

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
