About

Tandem Financial serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), estates, trusts, foundations, businesses and employer‑sponsored retirement plans. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, integrated financial planning, retirement‑plan advisory and consulting, and advice on assets held outside its primary custodian such as annuities and employer plan holdings.

Most client portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis and are implemented through diversified asset allocation across individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds and ETFs, and a range of alternative investments, with regular monitoring and rebalancing. The firm applies a mix of fundamental, technical and charting analyses and uses strategies that can include options, short sales, margin and short‑term trading alongside longer‑term holdings; financial planning is typically included with ongoing management but can also be delivered as a standalone engagement.

Noteworthy aspects relative to many peers are its formal retirement‑plan practice, which offers both ERISA 3(21) advisory services and 3(38) discretionary manager arrangements plus plan fiduciary education, and its willingness to use less common instruments—interval funds, private equity and private debt, and digital‑asset‑related products—in client portfolios. The brochure also discloses that some clients may incur an additional third‑party technology/reporting fee and that some advisers are licensed to sell insurance products, which the firm identifies as potential conflicts of interest.

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
