About

Great Lakes Financial Strategies, LLC provides individualized investment management and financial planning to a small client base, including both individual and business clients. The firm offers project‑based and ongoing planning engagements and runs educational seminars and public speaking engagements on personal finance topics.

The firm develops client‑specific investment policies and implements portfolios using a mix of passive and active strategies, strategic asset allocation, and third‑party model portfolios (including a sub‑advisor relationship with XY Investment Solutions and the use of TAMPs). Unlike most peers, the firm reports that the bulk of its assets under management are handled on a non‑discretionary basis, meaning portfolio actions are typically implemented under advisor discretion rather than requiring prior client approval.

Distinctive features include a very small, solo practice serving roughly a dozen clients with about $4 million in reported AUM, a CDFA® designation reflecting specialized training in divorce financial analysis, and a routine offering of seminars and speaking engagements (including occasional pro‑bono presentations). The adviser also discloses modest outside business activities under separate entities, indicating limited additional professional interests beyond the advisory practice.

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.
