About

Clear Waters Financial Network LLC is a fee-only advisory firm that provides comprehensive financial planning and portfolio management primarily to individual clients (the firm’s client base does not include high‑net‑worth individuals) and, on occasion, small businesses and non‑profits. The firm also describes serving clients undergoing divorce and may perform related financial forensics as part of planning engagements, and offers educational seminars and written materials for client education.

The firm generally prefers to manage accounts on a discretionary basis and asks clients to grant trading authority to implement its recommendations in a timely manner. Investment decisions draw on both fundamental and technical analysis, with portfolios typically diversified across stocks, bonds, ETFs and mutual funds and occasional use of covered options for hedging; the firm also applies explicit concentration limits for non‑diversified and diversified products.

Compared with many peers, Clear Waters operates at a small scale — it manages roughly $20 million in discretionary assets for a limited number of clients — and is run by a single registered advisor who combines formal financial planning credentials with an interdisciplinary background in environmental science and consulting. The firm requires Charles Schwab as custodian for its portfolio management clients, operates as a fee‑only practice with no insurance commissions, and maintains written financial planning deliverables with periodic (typically annual) reviews.

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.
