About

The Strategic Financial Alliance serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business clients. It offers portfolio management (including wrap and non‑wrap programs), third‑party manager selection and solicitation, financial planning and consulting, seminars, and a subscription advisory option.

SFA implements customized strategies through its Strategic Choice programs, co‑advisory relationships and referrals to third‑party asset managers, employing asset allocation, model portfolios, mutual funds, ETFs, and select alternative and structured products. As of December 31, 2025, SFA reported roughly $382.0 million in advisory assets, of which about $26.95 million were managed on a discretionary basis and about $355.08 million were managed on a non‑discretionary basis, indicating a predominant non‑discretionary/co‑advisory orientation.

A distinguishing feature is the firm’s dual registration: SFA is both an SEC‑registered investment adviser and a FINRA‑registered broker‑dealer, and many representatives also act as registered representatives and insurance agents. The firm discloses that it receives brokerage and distribution/solicitor compensation, estimates devoting a substantial portion of its time to broker‑dealer activities, and maintains affiliated entities and revenue‑sharing arrangements with third‑party managers, all of which are described in its disclosure materials.

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 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
