About

The Financial Advisory Group provides fee-based financial planning primarily to individuals and families, delivering comprehensive and segmented plans that cover areas such as asset/liability analysis, tax and estate considerations, retirement and education planning, and a recently added Cash Flow Plan. The firm states it will assist clients with implementation of plan recommendations throughout the contract period but does not act as a custodian for client funds.

The firm's investment recommendations are grounded in fundamental security analysis and may include equities, mutual funds, municipal and corporate debt, variable insurance products and U.S. government securities. Implementation often occurs through the firm’s representatives in their other roles—as registered representatives and investment adviser representatives of LPL Financial and as licensed insurance agents—which the brochure discloses can create conflicts of interest the firm seeks to manage.

Notable distinctions from many peer teams include that the firm reports no regulatory assets under management, does not take investment discretion or custody of client accounts, and does not offer asset-based (percentage-of-AUM) advisory services; its primary business emphasis is on planning and consulting rather than portfolio management. The firm’s staff hold professional planning credentials (including CFPs and tax- and student-loan-related certifications), and representatives disclose affiliations with LPL and insurance companies (e.g., Banner Life, MassMutual, Unum), which the brochure identifies as sources of separate compensation.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
