About

Zhang Financial is a fee‑only investment adviser with roughly $8.37 billion in regulatory assets under management and a multi-advisor team that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, pension/retirement plan consulting, and institutional advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), charities, corporations, and municipal government entities. The firm’s client base explicitly includes state and municipal government clients and employer‑sponsored retirement plans, in addition to individual and trust accounts.

The firm blends fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis and deploys internally developed model portfolios across multiple time horizons; strategies include long‑term and short‑term holdings, active trading, limited use of margin, and option strategies such as covered calls and collars. Many discretionary accounts are managed through wrap‑fee programs and the firm performs ongoing monitoring and rebalancing, and it accepts ERISA fiduciary roles for certain plan services.

A distinguishing feature of the firm is its formal affiliations with separate accounting and legal entities that provide tax preparation and estate planning services under separate engagements, and the firm notes a one‑time asset‑management fee reduction for clients who obtain eligible estate planning services (available regardless of whether the affiliated law firm or an outside firm is used). The firm also typically serves higher‑balance clients and maintains formal custodial relationships and platform arrangements that provide research and operational support used in its advisory process.

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.
