About
The Hourly Advisor LLC provides fee-only, hourly financial planning to individuals and high net-worth individuals, delivering written financial plans that can address cash flow, retirement, tax, estate, insurance, and investment analysis. The firm is a solo-registered adviser (formed and registered in 2024) serving about 83 clients and explicitly does not manage client assets or accept custody.
The firm’s advice is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and emphasizes diversified asset allocation, with recommendations that may include both passive and active funds; investment guidance is provided as part of financial planning rather than through ongoing discretionary management. Services are billed hourly (the brochure states a $300 hourly rate), clients pay via an electronic payment processor and receive a final written plan upon completion, and implementation and trading are left to the client’s chosen custodian.
Compared with most independent advisers, the firm is notable for not offering portfolio management, not charging percentage-of-AUM or performance-based fees, and for not participating in custody or wrap programs, all of which leave implementation and proxy voting responsibilities with clients. The brochure also discloses the firm’s use of client testimonials in advertising (an uncommon practice among peers), and the principal holds CFP® certification with prior experience at large custodians and brokerages and may refer clients to third‑party professionals when appropriate.

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.
