About
Buswell Associates, Inc. provides comprehensive financial planning, investment management, and retirement-plan consulting for individual clients and employer-sponsored plans. The firm’s brochure also notes it operates as a licensed life and health insurance agency and offers insurance-related services alongside its advisory work.
The firm primarily constructs diversified portfolios using mutual funds and, in specific cases, annuity contracts, with allocations guided by a client volatility-tolerance questionnaire and long multi-decade time horizons. Clients receive quarterly written reports and secure access to planning materials through an eMoney vault, and the firm emphasizes ongoing education about how volatility affects long-term outcomes.
Distinctive features noted in the brochure include the firm’s insurance-agency licensing and the attendant potential conflict of interest if insurance products are recommended, as well as its stated fiduciary posture and adherence to CFP ethics. The brochure describes a small, closely held practice with a single adviser, roughly $29.6 million in assets under management, and an operational custody transition from SSG to Altruist that left two households on the legacy platform—details that set it apart from many peers.

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
