About

Emerald Blue Advisors serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), businesses, pension and profit-sharing plans, and charitable organizations, managing roughly $89 million across about 188 client accounts with a three-advisor team. The firm provides portfolio management, pension consulting, comprehensive financial planning, and periodic educational workshops on topics such as retirement planning, cash flow analysis, and estate planning.

The firm’s investment process is built around a structured decision framework that emphasizes retirement income engineering and tax-aware distribution planning, coordinating withdrawal sequencing across taxable, tax‑deferred, and tax‑free accounts and incorporating Social Security into long-term plans. Risk management is treated as an ongoing process—addressing sequencing, longevity, inflation, and behavioral risks—and the firm uses charting, fundamental, modern portfolio theory and quantitative analysis across long‑term, short‑term and options strategies.

Distinctive features include the regular, fee‑based educational seminars the firm offers to clients and the fact that certain supervised persons are also licensed insurance agents, a relationship the firm discloses and manages through policies and periodic review to address conflicts of interest. Emerald Blue also refers clients to third‑party investment managers when appropriate and makes use of third‑party custodial and platform services while monitoring those managers’ performance.

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.
