About
Taylor & Associates serves individuals, families, trusts, retirement plans and small business entities, offering investment advisory services, modular financial planning and ongoing portfolio monitoring. The firm also provides insurance products and advice under a separate individual insurance license, with insurance activities disclosed and conducted separately from its fee-based advisory services.
The firm follows a long-term, buy-and-hold allocation approach using individual stocks and bonds, ETFs, no‑load mutual funds, REITs and variable annuity sub‑accounts, with periodic reviews and rebalancing. Uncommonly for its peer group, Taylor & Associates reports that it monitors roughly $18.22 million across 24 non‑discretionary accounts, so investment trades are made with client authorization rather than by discretionary authority.
Noteworthy distinctions include the combination of fee advisory services with separately offered insurance work (the brochure discloses about ten hours per month devoted to insurance activity) and a solo-practitioner model that emphasizes personal contact and client control. The firm also discloses it will not exercise trading discretion or vote client proxies and provides reporting in multiple delivery formats, which may suit clients who prefer hands‑on decision‑making and documented recommendations.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
