About

Applied Wealth Management serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), business entities, charities, and retirement plans with comprehensive and ongoing financial planning, portfolio management, and retirement plan consulting. The firm also offers standalone estate‑planning support and financial consulting engagements tailored to specific client needs.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes asset allocation and modern portfolio theory implemented through custom model portfolios, and it leverages third‑party sub‑advisers and strategists when appropriate. Accounts are typically managed on a discretionary basis, with monthly monitoring and at least semi‑annual client reviews, and the firm retains authority to select and replace sub‑advisers to align strategies with client objectives.

As an uncommon operational feature for a team firm, Applied Wealth Management offers portfolio management exclusively through a wrap fee program rather than through separate transaction‑based arrangements. The four‑advisor firm manages roughly $46 million for about 82 clients, licenses the Wealth.com platform to support a hybrid digital-plus‑attorney estate‑planning workflow, and discloses that its owner operates as a licensed insurance agent whose commission‑based insurance sales pose a potential conflict of interest.

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.
