About

Anderson Financial Strategies provides investment advisory and financial planning to a broad client base that includes individual and high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations, corporations, small businesses, churches, and retirement plans. Services described in the firm’s brochure include discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, model portfolio management (AFS CIO suites), and retirement plan consulting.

The firm’s investment process combines active asset management with fundamental and technical analysis and uses Modern Portfolio Theory to construct diversified allocations; it offers a range of in‑house model portfolios across risk profiles and parallel tax‑aware variants. Anderson Financial Strategies also supports “held‑away” retirement accounts via a third‑party platform (Pontera) to review and rebalance outside accounts and provides ERISA 3(21) and discretionary 3(38) fiduciary services for plan sponsors.

Compared with many peers, the brochure discloses a few uncommon features: the firm uses testimonials and endorsements in its advertising and permits borrowing in separately managed accounts. The firm also manages a relatively large asset base for its size (about $402 million across roughly 182 clients), uses third‑party vendors such as Pontera for held‑away management and 11thEstate to track class‑action recoveries, and documents both plan‑level fiduciary offerings and customized model portfolios.

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.
