About
The firm provides financial planning, third‑party manager recommendations, and retirement plan consulting to a client mix that includes pension and profit‑sharing plan sponsors, plan participants, corporations, and high‑net‑worth individuals. It does not provide discretionary portfolio management for individual accounts and reported no assets under management as of year‑end 2025.
The adviser develops written financial plans based on in‑depth interviews and a mix of economic, quantitative, fundamental and mutual fund/ETF analysis, with implementation left to clients or to outside managers it recommends. When referring clients to third‑party managers the firm discloses solicitation arrangements, conducts due diligence and monitors manager performance, while retaining no custody or proxy‑voting authority and no discretionary control over client accounts.
Noteworthy distinctions include a licensed insurance practice that sells life and fixed insurance products and may generate commission compensation for those sales; the brochure discloses this potential conflict and describes mitigation steps. The firm also provides ERISA‑focused retirement plan fiduciary consulting services (IPS preparation, QDIA advice, investment due diligence and participant enrollment), a service set that is less common among solo independent advisers who primarily offer individual portfolio management.

Not sure where to start?
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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
