About
T&M Financial provides financial planning, financial consulting, and asset-allocation recommendations rather than discretionary asset management; the brochure states the firm does not manage client accounts or report assets under management. The firm identifies individuals and families, high-net-worth individuals, and corporations or business entities as client types and describes gathering retirement and plan-specific information, indicating it may provide consulting related to employer-sponsored retirement or profit‑sharing arrangements.
The firm’s advice is delivered through a structured planning process (the Comprehensive Financial Planning System) and uses third-party research tools such as Morningstar to evaluate investments by risk, cost, and performance; recommendations typically emphasize long-term allocation among cash, fixed income, and equity exposures. Reviews are offered periodically and implementation is generally executed through custodians or third-party providers rather than through in‑house trading, with planning engagements billed on an hourly basis.
Noteworthy differences from many investment-manager peers include the firm’s affiliations with a broker‑dealer and its insurance activities: advisory representatives are also registered with an affiliated broker‑dealer and are licensed insurance agents, and the brochure discloses that staff devote a material portion of time to offering commissionable securities and insurance products—arrangements that can introduce conflicts not present at fee‑only, AUM‑based managers. The brochure also discloses past administrative filings and a stipulation agreement related to regulatory reporting, and the firm explicitly positions itself as a planner and referral source rather than as a traditional asset manager.

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.
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
