About
The firm serves individual investors — including high net worth clients — as well as small businesses and trusts, providing comprehensive financial planning, ongoing portfolio management, and business consultation services. In addition to standard planning and investment supervision, the firm makes educational workshops and seminars available to clients and the public, both complimentary and fee-based.
Investment management typically follows a Core + Satellite approach that blends low-cost indexed core holdings with actively managed satellite positions, using mutual funds, ETFs and individual securities to meet client objectives. The firm applies fundamental analysis, seeks tax-aware portfolio construction (including consideration of qualified dividend income), and manages accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis according to client preference.
Compared with many independent solo advisors, the firm maintains a relatively small client base with approximately $13.4 million in discretionary assets under management, indicating higher assets per client and more individualized engagement. It also offers an uncommon level of public-facing education for a firm of its size — periodic complimentary sessions plus paid seminars and speaking engagements — and provides flexible planning arrangements (one-time, retainer, or hourly) alongside implementation support.

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.
