About
Resolve Financial, LLC is a small independent advisory firm that provides portfolio management and financial planning services to individuals, estates, retirement plans and trusts. Portfolio management is delivered through a third‑party platform that handles account administration, trade execution and reporting, while financial planning is offered on an hourly basis.
The firm’s investment approach relies on Modern Portfolio Theory and an efficient‑market orientation, with portfolios constructed to capture broad market returns and factor exposures (including emphasis on stocks, small‑company and value factors) using institutional no‑load mutual funds, ETFs and global diversification. Portfolios are periodically reviewed and can be rebalanced automatically on a quarterly basis to maintain target allocations aligned with clients’ risk profiles and investment plans.
Distinctive features include managing virtually all assets on a non‑discretionary basis, a practice that is uncommon among independent advisors of this type, and implementing portfolios via a bundled or unbundled third‑party program that uses Dimensional sub‑advised funds. The firm operates as a solo practitioner with a small client base and does not accept proxy‑voting authority; it also maintains insurance licensure that can create conflicts of interest when insurance products are recommended.

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
