About

RLS Private Wealth Consulting serves high-net-worth individuals and businesses with family office executive and comprehensive wealth-planning services. Its offerings include family office operations (bookkeeping, bill pay, cash flow management), concierge and special-project support, estate-planning coordination, and onboarding to a third‑party Digital Family Office platform for secure document storage.

The firm provides non-discretionary investment consulting and holistic financial planning, using fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis when reviewing client investments and helping clients select or coordinate with third‑party investment managers. RLS structures engagements around project- and service-based billing rather than relying on traditional percentage-of-assets advisory models and facilitates client access to a DFO technology platform managed by an unaffiliated provider.

Distinctive features include a focus on acting as a family “chief operating officer” with hands-on administrative oversight—such as vendor onboarding, family governance monitoring, and family meeting coordination—and advanced deliverables like estate waterfall analyses and comprehensive tax reports. As a small, focused advisory team that does not manage assets on a discretionary basis, the firm also handles custodial bill-pay relationships for select family office clients, which subjects those engagements to surprise custody examinations.

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
