About

Sequoia Wealth Management advises individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, corporations, and employer retirement plans, providing asset management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting along with access to third‑party money managers and LPL Financial–sponsored advisory programs. The firm offers both wrap and non‑wrap program options and reported roughly $600 million in assets under management across discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts.

The firm emphasizes continuous, individualized account supervision and constructs portfolios to match clients’ goals, conducting at least annual reviews and rebalancing as needed; it also implements model portfolios, third‑party strategists, and an algorithm‑based Guided Wealth Portfolios solution through LPL/FutureAdvisor. Sequoia employs a mix of quantitative optimization, technical analysis, and option strategies and, notably, manages a larger share of client assets on a non‑discretionary basis, reflecting a hybrid approach that combines advisory recommendations with client‑directed execution.

Several of Sequoia’s advisers are registered representatives of LPL Financial and some hold insurance and CPA licenses, and the brochure discloses insurance sales, tax preparation, and real estate services offered by personnel in separate engagements. The firm also describes custodian‑provided benefits (including transition assistance and potential forgivable loans from LPL) and other economic relationships that may create conflicts of interest when recommending custodial platforms, mutual fund share classes, or commissionable insurance products.

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
