About

Bales Financial Advisors provides discretionary asset management and financial planning primarily to individual (non‑high‑net‑worth) clients, documenting objectives, time horizons and risk tolerances for each account. The firm manages portfolios directly, may hire sub‑advisors to run portions of accounts, and refers clients to third‑party managers (for example, CreativeOne Wealth) when appropriate.

The firm’s investment process is based on client profiles and a mix of strategies that can include long‑term purchases, trading and technical analysis, with quarterly reviews and ongoing monitoring of sub‑advisors or TPMs. Bales Financial operates with discretionary trading authority, allows clients to impose written investment restrictions, and does not routinely vote proxies for client securities.

Distinctive features include an operating structure in which principals maintain affiliated insurance businesses and receive commissions from insurance sales, with disclosures and procedures in place to mitigate that conflict of interest. The firm also uses advertising testimonials (a practice that is uncommon among peers) and serves a relatively large number of smaller individual accounts rather than a high‑net‑worth clientele.

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.
