About

Tobias Financial Advisors serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), retirement plans, trusts, estates, and business entities, providing wealth management, investment management, retirement plan advisory, financial planning, and family office services. The fee-only firm manages roughly $1.19 billion in client assets with a nine-advisor team and operates across six offices.

TFA generally delivers discretionary portfolio management governed by a written Investment Policy Statement, favoring globally diversified allocations, periodic rebalancing, and tax-aware decisions; the firm may use independent managers or sub-advisers and can advise on alternative or less liquid investments for experienced, accredited clients. The firm also uses AI-powered tools to assist with research, policy drafting, and meeting documentation; outputs are reviewed by staff and vendor oversight is documented, with limited client data processed by third-party providers.

Compared with many peers, TFA’s multi-office structure and its use of third‑party recognitions (including a Women’s Choice Award listing) are notable choices for a team-sized firm. The brochure also discloses an explicit solicitor and employee referral program and that family office services are included for wealth management clients, along with a long operating history dating back to 1980.

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 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
