About

The Wealth Consulting Group is an SEC‑registered wealth management firm that provides advisory services to a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), corporate clients, retirement plans, and trusts. Services include discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, access to third‑party money managers and sponsored wrap programs, and implementation through major custodial platforms.

The firm tailors strategies to client goals and risk tolerances using a mix of fundamental, technical, macroeconomic, and quantitative analysis, and it manages portfolios with periodic review and rebalancing. WCG deploys both active and passive investments, model portfolios and SMA/MP platforms, and offers an advisor‑enhanced, algorithmic Guided Wealth Portfolios service that incorporates automated tax‑lot selection and tax‑harvesting features.

Distinctive features include the firm’s legal and implementation support model: some supervised persons are licensed attorneys and WCG facilitates estate‑document preparation and referrals to attorneys and other legal specialists via third‑party vendors. At an enterprise scale, it also operates a multi‑platform business with dually registered advisors and formal relationships with LPL, Schwab, and Fidelity, and it combines traditional advisor oversight with outsourced managers and digital model portfolios.

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.
