About

West Michigan Advisors (Tamarisk Financial, LLC d/b/a West Michigan Advisors) serves individuals, high‑net‑worth families, family offices, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and businesses with discretionary investment management, financial planning, retirement plan advisory (including ERISA 3(21)/3(38) services), family office services and advisory research. Like most team firms, it provides portfolio management and financial planning for individual clients and generally charges asset‑based advisory fees.

The firm constructs customized, primarily long‑term portfolios using ETFs, mutual funds, individual equities and bonds and may include alternative investments; it applies fundamental and technical analysis and an internal due‑diligence process. WMA typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis, maintains ongoing client contact and periodic reviews, and may recommend or oversee independent managers when appropriate.

Noteworthy features relative to peers include common ownership with Tamarisk Capital Management, which serves as sub‑adviser to the Defender Risk Adaptive 500 ETF that WMA may recommend; the firm discloses this conflict, maintains information‑barrier controls and pre‑clearance around related trading, and makes unaffiliated alternatives available. The firm also operates as an insurance agency and some advisory personnel are registered representatives of a broker‑dealer—arrangements that create commission and referral conflicts that WMA discloses—while additionally offering family‑office services (concierge, bill‑pay, property management) and model/research services to other advisers.

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
