A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Westlake Advisors

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Westlake Advisors or one who fits your needs even better.

The firm provides fee-only, holistic financial planning and investment advisory services to individuals and families through open-retainer, project-retainer, and hourly engagements. Services include tax preparation and planning, estate-plan review, retirement planning, risk management, portfolio analysis, and other tailored financial planning work; the brochure reports approximately $58 million in assets under advisement across about ten clients and no assets under management. The firm’s investment advice is goals- and tax-aware, structuring portfolios around clients’ risk tolerance and financial circumstances and typically recommending no-load mutual funds, U.S. government securities, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and individual bonds. Implementation is non-discretionary (trades require client approval), the firm recommends qualified custodians such as Vanguard, Fidelity, or Charles Schwab, and it does not aggregate trades for multiple clients. Noteworthy aspects include a billing model that does not use a percentage-of-assets-under-management—services are billed via fixed annual retainers, project fees, or hourly rates—which is less common among independent advisors. The firm operates as a solo adviser with a very small client roster but substantial assets under advisement, and the principal also operates a retirement-planning software business and participates in the Alliance of Comprehensive Planners, which may influence its tools and service delivery.
