About

West Ridge Advisors serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as retirement plan sponsors, offering financial planning, investment consultation, and portfolio management on both a discretionary and non‑discretionary basis. The firm operates with an 11‑advisor team and manages roughly $396 million in client assets while also providing retirement plan consulting and periodic educational workshops.

Investment strategy is based on Modern Portfolio Theory with an emphasis on global diversification, tax efficiency, low‑cost vehicles, and periodic rebalancing. West Ridge also offers personalized (direct) indexing through a partnership with Vanguard Personalized Indexing—where Vanguard acts as a sub‑adviser and Fidelity is the custodian for those strategies—and refers clients to unaffiliated third‑party managers when appropriate while retaining oversight.

Notable aspects of the firm’s structure include ownership by an accounting firm (Udall CPA Group) and common control with an affiliated insurance agency, relationships the brochure discloses and that can give rise to referrals or cross‑service opportunities. The firm maintains multiple offices despite its team size and routinely provides complimentary educational seminars; some supervised persons also serve as trustees for client trusts, which the firm identifies as a custody‑related consideration.

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
