About

Strickler Investment Services provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, and charitable organizations. The firm offers stand‑alone and subscription‑based planning, ongoing portfolio supervision, and access to tax preparation services through an affiliated tax advisory entity, and it advises on held‑away accounts and insurance products as appropriate.

The firm takes an active, asset‑allocation driven approach, implementing portfolios that mix equities, ETFs and mutual funds and rebalancing on a quarterly, semi‑annual, or annual basis according to client objectives. Strickler uses third‑party model managers and a platform arrangement (including AE Wealth Management and custodial access to Fidelity) and applies the Nitrogen risk‑analysis tool to quantify client risk profiles and align portfolio construction.

Several operational features distinguish Strickler from many peers: it acts as a wrap‑fee program sponsor through its platform provider, has a common‑ownership insurance agency whose representatives may recommend annuities and receive customary commissions, and maintains an affiliated tax preparation company that the firm pays to prepare taxes for ongoing planning clients. The brochure also discloses referral arrangements, including a flat‑fee referral relationship with an estate attorney and the firm’s use of an insurance IMO (Advisors Excel) for marketing and business development support.

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
