About

Strategic Family Wealth Counselors, L.L.C. provides comprehensive wealth management, financial planning, and portfolio management to individuals (including high net worth clients), trusts, estates, retirement plans and other entities. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported approximately $1.66 billion in assets under management, with about $1.26 billion managed on a discretionary basis and $402.6 million on a non-discretionary basis across roughly 300 client relationships.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes individualized financial planning and fundamental analysis, beginning with discovery interviews, written plans and investment policy statements, and continuing with quarterly monitoring and annual cash-flow/model updates. Portfolio implementation commonly uses Independent Managers and allocates among mutual funds, ETFs, collective vehicles and legacy positions, and the firm may recommend private placement opportunities to clients who meet accredited investor standards.

Compared with many similarly sized team firms, Strategic Family Wealth Counselors has a substantially higher level of assets per advisor, reflecting a concentration of institutional-sized relationships under a four-advisor team. The firm also discloses the use of borrowing/margin in managed accounts when authorized by clients—which the brochure highlights as increasing portfolio leverage, potential risk and, where margin is used, the market value used for fee billing—an operational feature that is less common among peer team firms.

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
