About

Seneca Financial Advisors advises individuals, high‑net‑worth households, trusts, estates and business entities, offering comprehensive financial planning, investment management, investment consulting, tax planning and preparation, and trustee services. The firm serves clients on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases and provides retirement plan rollover guidance and recommendations for unaffiliated sub‑advisers when appropriate.

Portfolios are built from strategic asset‑allocation models (equity, balanced and conservative mixes) using mutual funds, ETFs and separate account managers, with ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing. The firm employs a limited tactical overlay to overweight or underweight asset classes as opportunities arise and, notably, may use borrowing in separately managed accounts as part of portfolio implementation — a practice that is relatively uncommon among peers.

Managing roughly $847 million in client assets across several hundred client relationships, Seneca integrates an in‑house tax function (including tax planning and preparation) with its investment advice and maintains team credentials such as CPA, CFP and CFA. The firm also accommodates nonstandard situations — for example, private real estate, tax‑credit partnerships, low‑basis or legacy holdings, and trustee arrangements or standing letters of authorization with annual surprise verifications — which distinguish its operational and service mix from many similarly sized advisory teams.

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
