About

Thayer Financial serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), charitable organizations, and employer‑sponsored retirement plans, offering discretionary investment management, financial planning (both standalone and ongoing), pension consulting, and periodic educational seminars. The firm provides both ongoing wealth management and project‑based planning depending on client needs.

The firm implements advice through discretionary, goal‑aligned portfolios that are typically diversified across risk‑based allocations using no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, and selected individual securities, guided by fundamental analysis and a long‑term orientation. Accounts are monitored and reviewed on a regular basis and the firm operates as a fiduciary for retirement accounts, allowing clients to impose reasonable investment restrictions and to engage in standalone planning work.

Compared with many peers, Thayer Financial’s practice includes an explicit emphasis on educational workshops and seminars for the public and organizations—an offering that is relatively uncommon among similarly sized supported advisers. The firm also integrates ancillary client services into its wealth management offering, arranging independent tax‑preparation services and basic estate‑document preparation for qualifying clients, and provides pension consulting and participant education to plan sponsors.

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
