About
Western New York Financial Group serves individuals, corporations, and pension and profit‑sharing plans with comprehensive financial planning, portfolio management, retirement plan consulting, and estate settlement services. The firm also recommends and monitors third‑party investment advisers and provides participant enrollment and education services for qualified retirement plans.
The firm manages client accounts using a proprietary investment model that relies on technical analysis, tailoring portfolios to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance and exercising discretionary trading authority when engaged. It actively monitors and rebalances accounts, conducts at least annual reviews, and may delegate day‑to‑day portfolio management or execution to recommended third‑party advisers while maintaining oversight.
Notable aspects disclosed in the brochure include that one owner is a licensed insurance agent who may receive commissions for insurance sales, a potential conflict the firm says it mitigates through disclosures and policies. The firm also notes it formerly linked held‑away retirement accounts through a third‑party platform (Pontera/formerly FeeX) but has since delinked those accounts, and operates with two managing members overseeing roughly $84 million in discretionary assets for about 199 clients.

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
