As a past national president of the Financial Planning Association (FPA) NexGen community, Rianka has played a pivotal role in shaping the future of financial planning. Her influence extends through her active roles in CNBC's Digital Financial Advisor Council and the CFP Board’s Diversity Advisory Group. Her thought leadership has been featured across top media outlets including PBS NewsHour, Forbes, and CNBC, and she has been honored as a rising star by Investment News and one of Wealth Management’s Ten to Watch. Rianka’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in finance is unwavering.

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.
