About
Wagener-Lee, LLC provides individualized financial planning and consultation to individuals and families, addressing topics such as portfolio analysis, retirement planning, tax and estate planning, employee benefits, and insurance. The firm delivers written financial plans following an initial complimentary consultation but does not provide discretionary asset management or participate in wrap‑fee programs.
Advisory representatives are dually registered with a broker/dealer and an SEC‑registered adviser, which allows the firm to both advise and, if clients elect, implement recommendations through broker‑dealer platforms and access third‑party managers; implementation may result in commissions or advisory fees in addition to planning fees. Planning and consultation services are billed on fixed‑fee or hourly bases rather than as a percentage of assets, and ongoing reviews beyond the delivery of the plan are provided only if requested.
Distinctive for a firm of this size, the principals maintain affiliations with a law practice, a real estate brokerage, and separate registered investment adviser entities—relationships the brochure highlights as potential sources of cross‑disciplinary services and conflicts of interest. The brochure also notes that advisory representatives devote a substantial portion of their time to broker‑dealer and affiliated advisory activities, and that the firm does not custody client assets, emphasizing a noncustodial, non‑discretionary planning model.

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
