About

Cratty & Swanson provides hourly financial planning and consulting, free educational seminars and workshops, and referral services to third‑party money managers; the firm’s principals also sell insurance products through affiliated insurance businesses. It serves individual clients (including those described as high‑net‑worth in its brochure) but maintains a small practice and does not custody or directly manage client assets.

The firm does not accept discretionary trading authority or manage portfolios in‑house; instead it prepares financial plans and acts as a liaison to third‑party managers, assisting with paperwork and ongoing account reviews while clients’ accounts remain with custodians. Seminars and workshops are presented as educational only, and referrals to third‑party managers are accompanied by disclosure of the managers’ Form ADV materials and fee schedules.

What is distinctive compared with many peers is the combination of offering public seminars at no charge and the principals’ substantial outside insurance businesses, which the brochure discloses as a material outside activity that may generate commission compensation. The brochure also discloses that the firm receives referral fees and certain production‑based benefits from its third‑party manager relationships and describes disclosure and procedural measures intended to address those conflicts.

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.
