About
Sentry Consulting, Inc. provides personal financial planning and discretionary investment management to individual clients of all ages, managing roughly $28.6 million for a small client base (about 36 clients). Services include comprehensive financial planning, special project work, and portfolio management implemented through mutual funds, CDs, corporate bonds, and select individual securities, with fees charged for services rather than commissions.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes asset allocation as the primary determinant of portfolio returns, using financial planning software, risk-tolerance discussions, and regular reviews to tailor allocations and investment style (indexed or actively managed) to each client’s goals. Sentry discourages high levels of trading, monitors portfolios on a schedule set with the client, and maintains discretionary authority while generally consulting clients before implementing changes.
What distinguishes the firm is its combination of long tenure and technical background—leadership with decades of fixed‑income and mutual fund management experience and CFP® certification—alongside an explicit “fee-for-service” practice model. The advisor also maintains insurance and real estate licenses for educational purposes (without selling commission products), operates as a very small, single‑advisor practice with no account minimums, and does not participate in wrap‑fee or performance‑based fee programs.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
