About
Worthy Financial Services is an independent, single‑advisor registered investment adviser that provides fee‑based discretionary investment advice and portfolio management to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and business entities. The firm also offers fixed‑fee consulting and financial planning services, including retirement and education planning, estate analysis, life‑insurance review, cash‑flow and budgeting analyses.
The adviser uses a mix of charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and implements long‑term and short‑term trading as well as option‑writing strategies (including covered and uncovered options). Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis within client‑specified objectives, with ongoing monitoring and at least quarterly reviews and custodial statements provided directly by the custodian.
Noteworthy for a firm of its size, the principal maintains separate licensed insurance and tax‑preparation activities that the brochure discloses consume about five hours per month each and represent roughly five percent of annual compensation, a potential conflict the firm addresses in its disclosures and Code of Ethics. The firm also provides discretionary allocation recommendations for assets held inside variable annuity products and employer‑sponsored retirement plans, and manages approximately $28.1 million in discretionary assets while operating as a solo practitioner.

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
