About

W.A. Smith Financial Group offers discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and tax-planning services, and qualified retirement-plan oversight to individuals, high-net-worth clients, pension and profit-sharing plans, and business entities. The firm also provides plan aggregation and “held away” account management through an account-aggregation platform and may work with sub-advisors or third-party managers for portfolio implementation.

Investment decisions are guided by an internal Investment Committee that applies a top‑down macroeconomic, political and regulatory framework followed by manager due diligence, blending active and passive strategies and model portfolios tailored to client objectives. The firm uses fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and typically pursues a long‑term approach, while retaining flexibility to use shorter‑term tactics when a client’s situation or investment thesis changes.

The firm is notable for its affiliation with an insurance brokerage (W.A. Smith Financial, LLC), with multiple advisers licensed to offer commissionable insurance products and disclosed policies to address related conflicts of interest. It also manages held‑away retirement assets via the Pontera system, requires custody with its recommended custodians (including Fidelity and Charles Schwab) rather than accepting directed brokerage, and has ownership interests in consulting and marketing businesses that operate alongside the advisory practice.

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
