About
Western Growers Financial Services, Inc. provides investment management and financial planning to individuals — with a focus on professionals, pre‑retirees and retirees — as well as trusts, estates, businesses and qualified retirement plans. The firm also operates as a broker‑dealer and offers insurance products, so clients can receive both fee‑based advisory services and commissionable brokerage or insurance implementations.
The firm develops individualized investment policies, continuously monitors portfolios, and may manage accounts directly or select and monitor third‑party independent advisers on a client’s behalf, using fundamental analysis across a broad range of securities. It accepts smaller accounts than many independent managers and reports about $130 million in discretionary assets and roughly $23.7 million managed on a non‑discretionary basis, indicating a notable non‑discretionary segment of its business.
As a subsidiary of Western Growers that is dually registered as a FINRA‑member broker‑dealer, the firm’s advisory personnel are also able to act as registered representatives and licensed insurance agents, a combination that is uncommon among peers. That dual role results in potential conflicts disclosed in the brochure — including receipt of commissions and insurance compensation and occasional fee offsets for commissionable business — which prospective clients should weigh when deciding how to implement recommendations.

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 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
