About
West Financial Advisors serves high-net-worth individuals and company-sponsored retirement plans, typically working with households whose portfolios the firm manages at $1 million or more (the firm may waive this minimum in certain cases). Services include discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, written investment policy statements, financial planning, and tax preparation offered under separate engagement agreements.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes long-term strategies and broad diversification across asset classes, with investment recommendations informed by charting, fundamental and technical analysis and third‑party research. Discretionary portfolios are reviewed at least monthly, clients receive quarterly performance reports, and planning considerations explicitly include liquidity, tax strategies, legal restrictions and time horizon.
Compared with many team firms, West Financial Advisors publishes periodic newsletters, maintains a blog, and conducts educational seminars and workshops for clients — practices that are relatively uncommon among peers. The firm’s staff hold a range of professional credentials (including CFP®, CPA, CFA and estate- and retirement-planning designations), and it provides retirement-plan advisory services alongside individual wealth management and tax-preparation offerings.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
