About

Plante Moran Financial Advisors, LLC provides investment advisory, financial planning, and estate planning services to a mix of private and institutional clients. Its clients include individual households (including high-net-worth individuals) as well as banks and thrift institutions, insurance companies, not-for-profits, state and municipal entities, other investment advisers, and—uncommonly for peers—sovereign wealth funds.

The firm offers both discretionary and non-discretionary Portfolio Advisory Services, manager search and monitoring, tax-lot accounting, and nonrecurring planning engagements. PMFA’s investment process combines fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis with a proprietary equity market valuation model, and commonly uses third‑party separate account managers and alternative investments; a majority of the firm’s reported AUM is managed on a non‑discretionary basis.

PMFA is part of the larger Plante Moran enterprise and discloses affiliations with a nationally chartered trust bank (Plante Moran Trust, N.A.), a real‑estate–focused investment adviser (Plante Moran Realpoint Investment Advisors) that also provides non‑RIA real estate services, an insurance agency, and a broker‑dealer. Those related‑party relationships and the firm’s client mix (including institutional and government clients) are highlighted in the brochure as sources of potential conflicts of interest and are disclosed alongside PMFA’s custodial and referral arrangements.

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
