About

AdaptFirst Investments provides advisory services to individuals and businesses, offering ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and project-based consulting. The firm also offers a broader set of business-oriented services — including outsourced CIO support to other advisors, CFO-level consulting, bookkeeping/accounting, tax preparation, and financial coaching programs.

AFI builds an Investor Profile for each client and manages accounts on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis, pursuing a proactive, valuation-focused investment approach with medium-term targets and using both fundamental and technical analysis. The firm documents allocation and trading policies intended to treat clients equitably and performs periodic account reviews with regular reporting through custodians.

Notably, AdaptFirst uses subscription-style offerings (CIO/newsletter subscriptions and recurring coaching programs) and provides accounting and tax services in-house, services that are less common for firms in this category. The brochure also discloses that some representatives maintain outside registrations as insurance agents and as a registered representative of a broker‑dealer, and it records a February 2023 regulatory proceeding involving an associated person who rendered advice without registration that resulted in a cease-and-desist order and an administrative fine paid by the firm.

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.
