About

GPWA, LLC provides advisory services to a mix of individual clients (including high net worth individuals), small businesses, trusts, estates, charities, and retirement plans, serving 198 clients through a four-advisor team. The firm offers asset management, financial and business planning, ERISA plan services (including 3(21) and 3(38) roles), and acts as a solicitor/referral source for third‑party managers.

GPWA manages client portfolios primarily on a non‑discretionary basis — the firm reports $108,103,094 in non‑discretionary assets under management and $0 in discretionary assets — and employs a range of analysis methods (fundamental, technical, quantitative, MPT) with monitoring and periodic reviews. When appropriate, GPWA recommends or places clients with third‑party managers and serves as an ongoing liaison, providing documentation, periodic oversight, and solicitor arrangements disclosed to clients.

Noteworthy for a team‑sized advisory firm, GPWA is dually registered and affiliated with a broker‑dealer, and several investment adviser representatives are also registered representatives and insurance agents, which creates potential conflicts of interest disclosed in the brochure. The firm mitigates these conflicts through disclosures, a Code of Ethics, trade reviews, custodian statements delivered directly to clients, and by documenting that advisory relationships are non‑discretionary and that TP M referrals include solicitor fee arrangements.

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.
