About
Clef Financial is a fee‑only, registered investment adviser that provides discretionary investment management and both ongoing and project‑based financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, and businesses. The firm offers continuous portfolio oversight and advice on retirement planning, estate planning, cash flow, and business planning as part of its service set.
The firm’s investment process is built around asset allocation and Modern Portfolio Theory, with diversified portfolios composed primarily of equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs, municipal securities, and cash equivalents tailored to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance. Accounts are typically managed on a discretionary basis with periodic reviews and the ability for clients to impose reasonable, written restrictions on holdings.
Distinctively for an independent, single‑advisor practice, the firm’s principal operates a separate CPA practice under common control and the advisory brochure discloses that the CPA entity may prepare clients’ tax returns or be engaged for tax and business services. That combination of in‑house tax capability alongside CFP and CPA credentials, plus an explicit focus on business‑owner planning and employee benefits optimization, sets the firm 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.
