About

Bellars Harris Wealth Management provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment advisory services, financial planning, and family office–style coordination to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) and entities such as trusts, estates, and qualified retirement plans. The SEC‑registered firm reports approximately $505 million in regulatory assets under management and operates with a five‑advisor team serving roughly 283 client relationships.

The firm customizes portfolios to clients’ objectives using fundamental analysis and typically emphasizes long‑term strategies while permitting shorter‑term trading when appropriate, and it may allocate assets to unaffiliated external managers. BHWM implements client management through a firm‑sponsored wrap fee program and, when appropriate, uses third‑party technology (Pontera) to facilitate discretionary management and rebalancing of held‑away retirement and defined contribution accounts.

Sponsoring its own wrap fee program and integrating a held‑away order management platform are operational features that are uncommon among peers of this size. The brochure also notes the firm provides estate planning coordination via third‑party visualization tools and that some advisers are licensed insurance professionals, a practice disclosed as presenting potential commission‑related conflicts 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.
