About

Briggs Financial serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering discretionary investment management, ongoing financial planning, and in‑house tax preparation. The firm reports roughly $52 million in assets under management and provides portfolio supervision based on each client’s stated objectives and reasonable investment restrictions.

Investment decisions are driven primarily by fundamental analysis with a long‑term orientation, and the adviser does not charge performance‑based fees or accept commissions tied to capital gains. Financial planning is provided as an ongoing service (monthly subscription for most clients and hourly billing for Washington clients), includes use of the eMoney planning platform, quarterly meetings, and an annual plan review.

A notable feature is the firm’s in‑house tax preparation practice, with a published fee schedule for a range of returns and forms (including Form 706 and Form 709) and additional hourly or complexity fees for specialized work. The brochure also discloses that the firm does not accept commissions or third‑party compensation for product sales and that it participates in Charles Schwab’s institutional program for custody and operational 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.
