About

C.L. Sheldon & Company serves individual and high-net-worth clients with bundled financial planning and wealth management, standalone planning and consulting, and financial coaching for those starting out. The firm operates on a fee-only basis and also offers tax-preparation services to clients on a separate-fee arrangement.

The firm’s investment work centers on asset-allocation and monitoring using mutual funds, ETFs and individual fixed‑income securities, and it may recommend funds with limited availability such as Dimensional Fund Advisors products. C.L. Sheldon provides ongoing portfolio review and rebalancing recommendations but generally manages client accounts on a non‑discretionary basis, using account aggregation tools for reporting and treating cash positions as a material allocation component.

What is noteworthy relative to peers is that C.L. Sheldon reports its entirety of AUM—approximately $101.5 million—as non‑discretionary, a structure that is uncommon among similar supported firms. The firm also directs clients toward a specific custodian platform (Altruist) from which it may receive non‑monetary support, and maintains a trade‑error policy that reimburses account losses while retaining net gains in the firm’s custodian account.

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.
