Folse Financial

My name is Cameron Folse, and I am the founder of Folse Financial. I believe that professional financial advice should be simple and streamlined. Our focus is on flat fees, a modern digital experience, and fiduciary advice. After over 6 years in the financial services industry, I realized that the industry has a transparency problem. Many clients do not know how much they pay their advisor, either through insurance commissions or through investment management fees. Whether the fees are high, low, or just right, people should know exactly how much they are paying so they can be able to decide for themselves if what they are paying for is worth it. That is why Folse Financial is founded on flat, clear fees that are based on the complexity of your situation, not how much you decide to invest with us. I also pride myself on giving fiduciary advice. One thing many people don't know is that some advisors are not always fiduciaries. Some advisors wear several hats, and are only legally fiduciaries when making certain types of recommendations. With the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification, we are required to be fiduciaries at all times. In today's world, it's not enough to have transparent fees and give excellent advice. Clients also deserve a digital experience as well. We have set up systems to allow clients to view their entire financial picture in one place and allow them to track their progress towards their planning goals. The process of opening accounts and signing paperwork is entirely digitalized, saving hours of time for my clients and for myself. These are our 3 focuses for our business. Let us know if there's a way we can help you!

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.
