About

Westco Advisory Services, Inc. provides portfolio management and comprehensive financial planning to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates and small businesses. The firm manages roughly $254 million in client assets for about 323 clients and offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning (including modular and hourly options), retainer engagements and held‑away participant account management.

The firm’s process begins with client risk‑profile and goals worksheets and emphasizes customized asset allocation, periodic rebalancing and security selection using fundamental, technical and proprietary screening methods; it also uses a core‑and‑satellite approach for larger accounts and may engage outside managers for specific satellite strategies. Westco reviews accounts regularly, backtests proposed strategies against historical performance and uses a third‑party platform to analyze and rebalance held‑away workplace retirement accounts without taking custody.

Westco’s affiliate structure is notable for a team firm: it is affiliated with an introducing broker‑dealer, an insurance agency and a tax preparation business, and the brochure discloses that commissionable products recommended during planning may be implemented through those channels. That combination of in‑house brokerage, insurance and tax services alongside a stated fee‑based advisory model and explicit procedures for held‑away account management and custody disclosure represents an uncommon operational and conflict‑management profile that clients should review.

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
