About
The firm provides financial planning and investment management primarily to individual clients through an ongoing consulting service and shorter project-based engagements. It is a fee-only, independent practice run by a single advisor and does not sell commissioned insurance or annuity products nor act as custodian for client assets.
The firm follows a Modern Portfolio/Efficient Market approach, building asset-allocation based portfolios with periodic rebalancing and written investment policy documentation; investment recommendations are provided but the advisor operates on a non-discretionary basis, obtaining client approval before executing trades. Clients receive written plans, regular reviews and access by phone or email, and the advisor does not employ third‑party money managers for portfolio implementation.
What is notable about this firm is its primarily non‑discretionary asset base — the practice reports essentially all assets as non‑discretionary, which is uncommon among independents — and its small, boutique scale (about 20 clients). The firm also combines a negotiable, AUM‑based monthly planning/management fee model with tiered project‑based flat‑fee and hourly offerings, operates as a CFP‑credentialed, fee‑only sole practitioner, and discloses no external compensation from third‑party referrals.

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.
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
