About
WMS Advisors is a team‑based SEC‑registered investment adviser that manages approximately $281 million for roughly 131 client households and provides both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, retirement‑plan consulting, and advice on non‑securities matters such as tax planning, insurance and business continuation. The firm serves individuals and families, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts and estates, and other business entities.
Portfolios are constructed around core, asset‑class oriented strategies implemented with ETFs, index mutual funds, individual securities and selective use of alternatives (for example, private REITs and oil and gas interests), with rebalancing applied when allocations deviate from model thresholds. WMS relies on fundamental and technical research tools, delivers household‑level service tiers, and provides both ongoing investment management and standalone hourly financial planning and analysis.
The firm’s structure includes several associated persons who also practice as Certified Public Accountants, hold broker‑dealer registrations, and maintain insurance agent appointments, enabling integrated tax, accounting and insurance coordination but creating commission‑related conflicts the firm discloses and seeks to manage. WMS has also recently implemented a documented succession plan including a majority ownership transition, a notable governance development for a firm of its scale.

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
