About
Purple Dog provides investment advisory and consulting services to individuals, including high-net-worth clients, managing assets through model portfolios offered on the Charles Schwab platform and investing primarily in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. It also offers financial and tax planning as part of its consulting services and does not place client assets into wrap-fee programs.
The firm implements discretionary management using predefined model allocations—ranging from aggressive to conservative—to align portfolio exposures with each client’s objectives and risk tolerance, and clients receive custodial account statements at least quarterly. Clients may not impose restrictions that prevent being managed against the firm’s models, and custody and trade execution are directed through Charles Schwab.
Purple Dog is notable for serving an unusually large client base (about 279 clients) for a solo adviser, indicating a high client-to-advisor ratio and a model-driven service model. The firm is affiliated with Zebulon Tax Advisors, LLC, and its owner holds insurance licenses and serves as an adjunct professor, supporting integrated tax-consulting and insurance offerings alongside investment management.

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
