About
WGS Management Services, Inc. provides discretionary supervisory portfolio management and ongoing financial advice to a client base made up primarily of individuals, trusts, estates, and closely held businesses, managing approximately $41.6 million in client assets. The firm delivers customized investment plans, ongoing monitoring, and regular reviews tailored to each client’s goals, risk tolerance, and cash‑flow needs.
WGS’s investment approach is fiduciary and centered on fundamental analysis, using both top‑down and bottom‑up research to construct portfolios largely composed of publicly traded equities, bonds, and mutual funds, and generally following a long‑term buy‑and‑hold orientation. Accounts are monitored monthly for return deviations and reviewed at least semi‑annually, and the firm uses Charles Schwab as its recommended qualified custodian and PortfolioCenter for reporting and account administration.
Distinctive aspects disclosed in the brochure include the firm owner’s status as a Certified Public Accountant and an inactive partner of Ward, Schmerbeck & Billig, P.C., with the brochure noting that some clients may also be clients of that accounting practice and describing procedures intended to address any related conflicts. The firm also recently disclosed a transition from state registration to SEC registration and explains its reliance on Schwab’s institutional services (including the $10 million client assets threshold for certain support), which the firm reviews annually.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
