About

Daniels & Erickson Financial Advisors provides portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth households, trusts, estates, retirement plan participants, and business entities. The firm manages about $213.6 million for roughly 60 clients and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management as well as hourly and project‑based financial planning.

The firm tailors advice through a customized asset‑allocation process with ongoing monitoring and rebalancing, drawing on both fundamental and technical analysis. Investment implementation typically uses equities, ETFs, mutual funds, municipal and U.S. government securities and, when appropriate, may include alternative vehicles or the use of sub‑advisors and strategies such as covered options or short sales.

What is noteworthy compared with many peers is the firm’s affiliation with a full‑service CPA firm and the extent to which key principals devote substantial time to that accounting practice, allowing coordination of tax planning, charitable gifting, and estate work alongside investment advice while leaving clients free to use other tax advisors. The firm’s relatively large AUM concentrated across a modest client base, combined with this advisor–CPA relationship, indicates an emphasis on integrated tax and wealth planning for affluent households.

Find your advisor

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.
