Ulmer Financial

Ulmer Financial brings together your investments and tax preparation in one place, so you don’t have to deal with multiple advisors. Our goal is to make managing your money and filing your taxes easier. I became fascinated by investing at a young age and bought my first stock when I was 10 years old. Despite its importance, I have found that personal finance is rarely talked about and people are often ill-equipped to plan for their futures. I decided to become a financial planner to help solve this problem. I am passionate about making financial planning accessible to my clients and helping them invest to achieve their goals. I also enjoy making clients' lives easier by streamlining their investments and tax preparation. Before starting Ulmer Financial in 2022, I worked as an assistant to a financial planner where I created and operated our investment management process, researched a variety of financial planning issues, and served clients. I have a BS in Commerce from the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce and am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (TM) professional. I am also an Enrolled Agent admitted to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. The most important thing in my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ. I seek to glorify Jesus Christ and make Him known, as I help individuals steward their finances.

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.
