About

Turning Point Financial serves individual and family clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), entrepreneurial business owners, and certain retirement plan clients, offering financial planning, discretionary investment management, and model-based asset management. The firm also provides tax and accounting services, business valuation, and insurance product recommendations as part of its service mix.

The firm uses a team‑based, fiduciary planning process that combines client data gathering, behavioral and financial risk profiling (via third‑party tools), and both customized and model portfolio solutions. Turning Point typically implements discretionary management through third‑party sub‑advisers (notably SEI Investments Management Company) and custodial platforms, and conducts ongoing portfolio monitoring and annual reviews with clients.

What is distinctive in the brochure is the integration of in‑house tax and accounting capabilities — Turning Point discloses a team of Certified Public Accountants who provide tax return preparation, tax planning, accounting/bookkeeping, and business valuation services — and the firm’s affiliated insurance activities: several representatives are licensed insurance agents and the firm primarily uses a general insurance agency that the brochure says is owned by the same individual who owns Turning Point Financial. The brochure also discloses third‑party marketing/sponsorship relationships with custodians and sub‑advisers and the firm’s reliance on SEI and Charles Schwab platforms, matters the firm identifies as potential conflicts and discloses to clients.

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
