Andy Millard Advisory, LLC

I followed in my parents' footsteps and started out as a public school classroom teacher, later becoming a principal. At age 37 I made the switch to financial planning, growing a successful practice which I sold in 2016 to run for Congress. That campaign, though unsuccessful, renewed my commitment to helping others put their values to work in their own lives. Andy Millard Advisory leverages the ever-evolving landscape of socially-responsible investment options, giving clients the opportunity to express their ideals through their portfolio. What's more, the latest financial technology allows us to streamline the client experience while managing multiple portfolios efficiently, freeing me up to use my extensive experience to help clients make smart decisions and grow their assets.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
