About

Apex Wealth Advisors serves individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), charities, and business entities with comprehensive financial planning, financial consulting, and discretionary portfolio management. The firm provides written financial plans and ongoing portfolio oversight using model portfolios and typically charges percentage‑of‑assets management fees.

The firm’s investment approach centers on asset allocation tailored to a client’s goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon, with periodic rebalancing and annual reviews of model portfolios. It frequently delegates portfolio implementation to third‑party sub‑advisers or co‑advisers—who handle trading, execution, and reporting—while retaining oversight and relying on custodians for account statements and fractional‑share trading to maintain target allocations.

Apex has several affiliations that are uncommon among similar supported firms: one owner is a registered representative of a broker‑dealer and firm representatives may sell securities through that broker‑dealer for separate commissions, and another owner operates a CPA practice that may provide tax preparation and accounting services. The firm also refers estate‑planning work to an estate‑planning company owned by an owner (clients contract separately and Apex does not receive a separate fee), and these relationships are disclosed as potential conflicts of interest the firm says it seeks to mitigate.

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.
