About
Valicenti Advisory Services, Inc. provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, business entities, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, pension and profit-sharing plans. The firm also offers ancillary services on a separate engagement basis including tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll for business clients, and insurance products through its affiliated agency, Valicenti Insurance Services, Inc.
The firm follows a top-down, Modern Portfolio Theory approach, constructing portfolios across four stated objectives (Conservative, Moderate, Growth, Aggressive Growth) and using both fundamental and technical analysis to implement long‑term, short‑term and trading strategies; it may also employ options, short sales and margin in appropriate accounts. VASI treats cash as an asset class for portfolio construction and fee measurement, maintains a written cash‑sweep practice (generally moving sweep balances into higher‑yielding money‑market funds within about 30 days when available), and includes accrued interest/dividends in its advisory fee calculations.
Compared with many peers, VASI’s combination of investment advisory services with in‑house tax preparation, bookkeeping/payroll offerings and an affiliated insurance agency creates multiple non‑investment revenue streams and attendant conflict‑of‑interest disclosures. The firm also accepts ERISA retirement plan engagements and performs certain custody‑adjacent services (trustee, bill‑paying, password custody) that subject it to additional regulatory oversight, such as the annual surprise CPA examination.

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.
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
