About
Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services (WEAS) provides financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary asset management, retirement‑plan consulting, and referrals to separate managed account investment managers for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, corporations and retirement plans. The firm operates at scale—managing over $122 billion in regulatory AUM through a large advisor network and multiple program options including wrap, ETF‑focused, institutional, and model‑based solutions.
WEAS’s investment process emphasizes diversified, risk‑class based allocations that blend passive and active managers and employ quantitative, momentum, and fundamental analysis; portfolio construction and rebalancing are overseen by an internal Investment Committee. The firm also offers a range of implementation tools and services—including held‑away account management via the Pontera platform, sub‑advisory SMA access, asset‑location services, and model portfolios—while noting that model and third‑party providers are evaluated for cost, tax efficiency, and manager due diligence.
Compared with many large enterprises, WEAS discloses several uncommon features and inter‑firm arrangements in its brochure: it documents transitional billing practices for clients transferred from predecessor advisers and, unusually for firms of its size, advertises predecessor performance; it also delegates operational and TAMP functions to an affiliate (Advisory Solutions Group) and relies on multiple affiliated services such as NorthCrest sub‑advice, an affiliated trust company (WETS), and a tax/consulting affiliate. The brochure further highlights potential conflicts tied to advisor equity ownership, model‑provider fee markups, and referral arrangements with custodians and third‑party platforms—matters the firm discloses as part of its compliance and client‑disclosure practices.

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
