About

Wescott Financial Advisory Group serves a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households), family offices, charitable organizations, and retirement plans, offering wealth management, financial planning and consulting, family office solutions, trust services, and retirement plan/pension consulting. The firm’s brochure discloses approximately $4.16 billion in assets under management and describes program offerings that include an Entrada® program for smaller accounts and MRK Powered by Wescott services tailored for Merck executives.

The firm describes an open‑architecture, multi‑manager investment approach that blends passive and active strategies, uses fundamental analysis, and documents client objectives in written Investment Policy Statements; Wescott may engage independent third‑party managers and monitors portfolios with periodic reporting. Its disclosures emphasize tax‑sensitive portfolio construction and note that the firm has implemented limited AI tools for operational efficiency and client‑service functions, while stating AI is not used for investment selection.

Noteworthy disclosures in the brochure include an affiliation with the law firm Duane Morris LLP and a de minimis ownership interest (less than 0.25%) in National Advisors Trust Company, both identified as potential conflicts when recommending legal or trust services. The brochure also describes the firm’s preparation and delivery of portfolio performance reports and related investment commentary and discloses the use of hypothetical performance in some advertising, alongside legacy and niche programs that distinguish it from many peers.

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
