About

Pivotal Wealth and Tax provides investment advisory and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporations, and charitable organizations, and supplements those services with bookkeeping and tax‑filing offerings. The firm states it has no account minimums and provides portfolio management for clients on an ongoing, discretionary basis.

Pivotal documents client goals and risk tolerances in written Investment Policy Statements and employs a blend of analytical methods — including fundamental, quantitative, technical, charting, and cyclical analysis — to construct and monitor portfolios that can include mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income, annuities, and options. For held‑away retirement plan participant accounts the firm uses a third‑party aggregation/management platform (Pontera) to review and rebalance allocations at least quarterly while avoiding direct custody of client credentials.

The firm combines advisory services with affiliated accounting and tax operations (d/b/a Major and Company Accounting, Tax and Financial Services) and offers bookkeeping on an hourly, fixed‑fee, or subscription basis — subscription fees are disclosed in the brochure as ranging from $150 to $3,000 per month, a feature that is uncommon among similar team firms. The brochure also discloses related business activities in real‑estate property management and insurance sales, the receipt of insurance commissions, and material ADV updates (last noted 01/24/2025), all of which are presented as potential sources of conflicts of interest for clients to consider.

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
