About

Smith & Wyatt (L & W Financial, LLC dba Smith & Wyatt) serves individuals — including high‑net‑worth clients — and corporations, managing roughly $207 million for about 724 clients through a team of eight advisors. The firm offers financial planning (including single‑subject consulting), discretionary portfolio management, estate‑planning consulting via the Wealth.com platform, and complimentary educational programs for federal employees.

Investment advice is tailored to clients’ stated objectives and risk tolerances and is primarily implemented with mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds; fees for portfolio management are billed as a percentage of assets under management. The firm constructs customized portfolios, may utilize unaffiliated model portfolios or sub‑advisors, and conducts ongoing monitoring and rebalancing while recommending custodians such as Charles Schwab and Capital Group/American Funds for execution and custody.

Distinctive features include operating five offices, an uncommon footprint for a firm of this team size, and the fact that certain investment adviser representatives are also licensed independent insurance agents who earn separate, commission‑based compensation for insurance sales (a conflict the brochure discloses). The firm also provides targeted, no‑fee educational sessions on Federal Employees Retirement System topics (e.g., military buyback and the Thrift Savings Plan) and uses Wealth.com for client estate‑document creation, with read‑only visibility to support client follow‑through.

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
