About

Wayfinding Financial serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as foundations, trusts, estates and employer‑sponsored retirement plans, providing discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory and consulting services. The firm manages approximately $353 million in client assets across about 361 accounts and also offers consulting arrangements for insurance and brokerage customers.

The firm combines a planning‑driven consultative process with disciplined asset allocation using ETFs and institutional mutual funds, periodic tactical adjustments, and regular rebalancing, and it typically manages client accounts on a discretionary basis. For implementation, Wayfinding may recommend interval funds and other non‑liquid alternative investments for qualifying clients, use third‑party bond trading desks to access broader bond inventories, recommend third‑party money managers or the Betterment robo‑managed program, and can trade or access client 401(k) and HSA accounts through the Pontera Order Management System.

Compared with many peers, Wayfinding is notable for its scale relative to its advisory team (two advisors managing over $350 million) and for the breadth of execution and plan services it offers, including ERISA 3(21) retirement plan advisory and plan consulting. The firm’s representatives are also licensed insurance agents and Wayfinding facilitates fee‑based annuities, estate‑document referrals through an unaffiliated provider, and reports certain custody arrangements using standing limited powers of attorney, which are potential conflicts disclosed in its brochure.

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
