About

Heckman Financial & Insurance Services, Inc. advises individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, providing discretionary asset management, one‑time and ongoing financial planning, and ERISA retirement‑plan advisory services. In addition to advisory work, the firm and its representatives offer licensed insurance brokerage and tax‑preparation services and hold educational seminars and workshops for the public.

The firm employs discretionary portfolio management using fundamental and technical analysis, documents client goals in investment policy statements, and performs quarterly reviews that include automated rebalancing and tax‑loss harvesting. HFIS also may engage third‑party managers and sub‑advisors to manage all or portions of client portfolios and monitors those managers while delivering their disclosures to clients.

Distinctive features include the integration of insurance brokerage and tax‑preparation activities into the advisory business—representatives report spending a substantial portion of time on these services—and a practice of offering educational seminars and workshops. The firm discloses potential conflicts from insurance commissions and referral fees to third‑party managers and states it mitigates those conflicts through disclosure, procedures and adherence to its fiduciary duties.

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.
