About
Ascent Wealth Management is an independent, single-advisor registered investment adviser serving individual clients, including high-net-worth individuals. The firm offers broad financial planning—covering cash flow, retirement, education, estate and tax-planning strategies—and ongoing portfolio management and investment consultation.
The firm’s investment approach blends Modern Portfolio Theory with active portfolio management, emphasizing strategic asset allocation across equities, fixed income and cash and constructing portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and, in some cases, option strategies. Portfolios are governed by written investment guidelines, reviewed periodically or when client circumstances change, and are typically managed on a discretionary basis.
What distinguishes the firm from many peers is that the principal holds CPA and CFP® credentials (and an MBA) and incorporates tax-planning considerations into financial planning while expressly not providing tax-preparation or operating as an accounting firm—an uncommon combination among solo independent advisors. The brochure also highlights the firm’s operational relationship with a major custodian that supplies institutional trading, custody and practice-management tools the adviser uses in serving clients.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
