About

Wealth Architects serves individual investors (including high‑net‑worth clients), their trusts and estates, retirement plans, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and charitable organizations. The firm provides comprehensive wealth management, wealth planning and consulting, and coordinates non‑investment services through a “Board of Advisors” of third‑party professionals.

The firm’s investment process is built on modern portfolio theory and tailored strategic asset allocation, using client questionnaires, an Investment Policy Statement and financial planning software to design individualized plans. Portfolio management is typically discretionary and implemented mainly with mutual funds, exchange‑traded funds and individual debt securities, with access to sub‑advisors such as Aperio and Parametric and occasional consideration of alternative investments for qualified clients.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include the firm’s use of client testimonials in advertising, an uncommon practice among similar multi‑team advisors, and its ownership structure combining a family trust majority owner with minority employee ownership. The firm also documents ERISA fiduciary obligations (including reliance on PTE 2020‑02 when applicable) and offers a Board of Advisors referral coordination model under which recommended third‑party providers are engaged directly by clients without referral fees to the firm.

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
