Non-profit professionals and individuals that donate to non-profit organizations are a key component to improving our communities, both locally and nationally. I’ve seen the impact on our communities firsthand because of the work of my wife, my siblings, my father, and my sister-in-law, all of whom work for various non-profit organizations. Their efforts to better the lives of those around them motivated me to launch a financial planning firm dedicated to serving them, and other community-centric individuals.
Our approach is to not only work with individuals and families on developing a path for financial security, but to also be a resource to provide financial clarity. Often, we think of financial planning as maximizing investment returns, or developing strategies to minimize the taxes we owe. While important, any financial plan or strategy lacks impact unless we align the plan and the financial strategies to what is truly important to YOU. Financial planning is about more than numbers – it’s about a financial planner working in lockstep with the client to identify and create a life that aligns with the client’s values, aspirations, and ideal financial future.
Prior to becoming a client, we will work with prospective clients to identify and elaborate on what is important to them, and how we can maximize their money and resources to align with their values. From there, the planning process can begin, and we can set out on the path of maximizing today, while also planning for tomorrow.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
