About
Pinecone Financial is a state-registered, sole-proprietorship investment adviser that, per its brochure, provides financial planning, investment consultation, and ongoing coaching to individuals and high-net-worth clients; the firm is newly formed and currently reports no assets under management. Although classified in the investment-manager category, the disclosed services focus on one-time financial plans, hourly engagements, and ongoing planning rather than managing client accounts directly.
The firm describes an investment approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and primarily practices passive investment management, constructing diversified portfolios with low-cost index mutual funds and ETFs and emphasizing long-term horizons and tax efficiency. Pinecone prepares client-specific investment policy statements and leaves trade execution and custody to clients’ chosen custodians; it does not accept custody or exercise discretionary trading authority.
Notable differences from many investment-manager peers include its fee model and operating posture: the brochure discloses fixed fees for plans, an hourly planning rate and a modest monthly coaching fee, and it does not rely on percentage-of-AUM advisory fees. The firm also operates with a single advisor and no reported clients or AUM to date, accepts modern payment methods (e.g., Square/PayPal/Venmo) for fees, and the principal maintains outside employment, factors that may influence how services are delivered.

Forms ADV
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
