About

Verus Financial Partners provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and, when requested, tax planning and preparation services to individuals and families, including high‑net‑worth clients. The firm generally manages accounts on a fee‑only basis and works with clients under written advisory or planning agreements.

The firm primarily allocates client assets among mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds using fundamental analysis and a mix of long‑ and short‑term strategies, and it treats cash as an asset class that may be held defensively. Verus does not exercise discretionary authority to purchase cryptocurrencies, instead advising use of exchange‑traded vehicles or separate managers for digital‑asset exposure, and it uses the Pontera platform to integrate and tax‑efficiently rebalance “held‑away” retirement, annuity, and education accounts.

Several operational features are noteworthy: Verus offers tax preparation services through firm employees, routinely uses Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) funds (which have advisor‑approval and reallocation implications if a client changes advisers), and includes cash balances in assets under management for fee calculation while maintaining procedures to move custodian sweep balances into higher‑yielding money‑market funds where appropriate. The firm also discloses that in limited circumstances it may serve in trustee capacities, creating custodial considerations that can trigger additional reporting and examination requirements.

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
