About
Woodward Financial Advisors provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and wealth management services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, businesses, and retirement plans, and it also offers occasional educational seminars. As a registered investment adviser and fiduciary, the six‑advisor team manages approximately $641.48 million in client assets for about 203 clients.
The firm builds customized portfolios using primarily low‑cost mutual funds, ETFs and bonds, will retain legacy positions for tax or fit reasons, and generally pursues long‑term strategies while executing shorter‑term trades when client needs or market conditions warrant. WFA’s research and portfolio decisions draw on a mix of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis, with continuous monitoring and formal reviews conducted at least annually.
Distinctive features include a concentrated asset base — a relatively large amount of assets per client and per advisor for a small team — and that all reported assets are managed on a discretionary basis. The firm maintains institutional relationships with both Charles Schwab and Fidelity and receives software and related economic benefits from those custodians (while not participating in soft‑dollar programs), and it documents and monitors personal trading and conflicts through a Code of Ethics overseen by its compliance function.

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
