About

Strauss Financial Group provides fee‑based wealth management, financial planning, investment management, retirement plan advisory, and estate and family services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm manages discretionary portfolios and offers both modular and comprehensive planning engagements, as well as targeted services such as retirement plan rollovers and executor support for decedents’ estates.

The firm’s investment process is overseen by an internal investment committee that combines macroeconomic analysis with both fundamental and quantitative research, and it implements diversified allocations across equities, fixed income, ETFs, real assets, alternatives and selectively recommended private equity and options strategies. Portfolios are actively rebalanced and tailored through custom asset management programs, and the firm supplements its workflow with supervised AI tools for tasks such as real‑time note taking and preliminary data analysis.

Compared with many peers, SFG is notable for its affiliation with an accounting and tax services entity that can provide integrated tax and bookkeeping support (billed separately), and for offering digital estate‑planning tools alongside traditional estate and executor services. The firm manages about $276 million in discretionary assets for roughly 212 clients with a small advisory team, maintains arrangements to recommend third‑party retirement administrators, and has documented succession procedures and outside professional resources to support business continuity.

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
