About

Walton Financial advises individual clients (both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth), as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporations. The firm provides comprehensive financial planning, asset management, and retirement plan consulting and implements advisory programs using third‑party platform services.

Services are delivered primarily on a discretionary basis and can include customized portfolios (PPS Custom), model portfolios managed through Commonwealth’s PPS Select, mutual funds, ETFs, insurance products, and certain alternative investments. The firm describes a multi‑step due‑diligence process for model selection and may recommend specific share classes such as American Funds’ F‑2 when appropriate.

Walton Financial publicly discloses third‑party recognition—having appeared on Forbes’ Best‑in‑State Wealth Advisors list multiple times—a disclosure the firm highlights in its ADV and that is uncommon among peers. The brochure also discloses notable platform and financing arrangements with Commonwealth (and related loans tied to Commonwealth/LPL), a 2024 SEC adviser registration despite operating since 1999, and reliance on Commonwealth/NFS for custody and execution, each of which the firm identifies as relevant to program choice and potential conflicts of interest.

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
