About

Phillip B. White Co., Inc. provides personalized financial planning and investment management for individuals, small pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small businesses. The firm manages discretionary accounts for a concentrated client base and offers other planning services on an hourly or flat‑fee basis.

The firm typically implements strategic asset allocation using a core‑and‑satellite approach across no‑load and low‑load mutual funds and ETFs, and it may recommend or place assets with third‑party money managers or TAMPs when appropriate. Advisors operate with discretionary trading authority under a limited power of attorney, deliver periodic performance and net‑worth reporting, and conduct quarterly account reviews with more frequent reviews as market or client circumstances warrant.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its affiliation with an insurance brokerage: advisory affiliates are licensed insurance brokers who may receive commissions for insurance products they sell to clients, a potential conflict the firm discloses while maintaining that the advisory entity itself operates on a fee‑only basis. The firm also combines a relatively large asset base for a small advisory team with documented operational safeguards (including encrypted offsite backups and business continuity planning) and the use of third‑party custodial and research services.

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
