About

Williams & Novak Wealth Management is a team-based registered investment adviser serving individuals (including high-net-worth clients), corporations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and charitable organizations. A five-advisor team manages approximately $343 million for about 275 clients and provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning (including retainer engagements), and access to third‑party managers and TAMPs.

The firm combines proprietary model portfolios and sub‑advisor solutions with direct‑indexing strategies implemented through both Altruist and a Vanguard‑powered program, allowing for customization and tax‑loss harvesting at the individual‑security level. It conducts due diligence and ongoing monitoring of third‑party managers and relies on custodial and operational partners (for example, Altruist, AssetMark, and Dynamic Advisor Solutions) to handle trading, rebalancing, and reporting.

Noteworthy features disclosed in the brochure include affiliated business lines for tax preparation and insurance (Williams & Novak Tax Partners, LLC and Williams & Novak Insurance, LLC) and advisor‑led newsletters and educational workshops. The firm also discloses that some of its advisers are registered representatives of unaffiliated broker‑dealers and that certain platform relationships (including Altruist One and the Altruist Model Marketplace) may involve pass‑through fees or referral arrangements the firm says it discloses and monitors.

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
