About

Avaii Wealth Management serves individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, businesses and retirement plans, offering investment management, comprehensive financial planning, and retirement plan advisory services. The firm also supports held‑away participant accounts through a third‑party platform and provides tax preparation and filing services through an in‑house CPA.

Avaii operates as a fiduciary and constructs diversified portfolios that combine active and passive mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and fixed‑income securities, and may engage unaffiliated independent managers for portions of client portfolios. The firm generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis, conducts regular reviews, and may employ options and other derivative strategies opportunistically where aligned with a client’s objectives and risk tolerance.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include its in‑house tax preparation capability and the fact that multiple advisory personnel are licensed insurance professionals, practices that can create potential conflicts when insurance or tax services are recommended. Avaii also documents ERISA fiduciary status for retirement plan work, uses third‑party tools to manage participant accounts without taking custody, and maintains institutional relationships with major custodians for platform support.

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.
