About
Guiding Financial works with individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, charitable organizations, and businesses, providing individualized investment management alongside a range of wealth‑planning services including ongoing comprehensive planning, project work, and hourly engagements. The firm manages only discretionary portfolios through a two‑advisor team and reports roughly $85 million in assets under management across a very small number of client relationships.
The firm’s investment process is grounded in modern portfolio theory and long‑term asset allocation, with client‑specific investment policy statements and at least quarterly portfolio reviews. Wealth planning is integrated with portfolio management so that comprehensive planning clients receive coordinated investment oversight and the firm considers tax, estate, business, and private‑asset factors when building plans.
What is notable about Guiding Financial is the concentrated client base relative to its AUM, reflecting larger average account sizes and a hands‑on planning model that incorporates privately held assets (valued using client estimates) into net‑worth assessments. The firm does not vote client proxies, generally relies on custodial reporting rather than providing separate written investment reports, and its principal holds CFP® and CPWA credentials.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
