About
The firm provides comprehensive financial planning (ongoing and project-based) and investment advisory services to individuals, businesses, and high‑net‑worth clients, and also offers employee benefit plan advisory services for employer‑sponsored retirement plans and public seminars. It implements investment management through third‑party money managers and custodians and offers estate document facilitation as an ancillary, project‑level service with a third‑party scrivener.
The adviser primarily favors passive portfolio construction implemented via recommended outside managers and monitors those managers’ holdings, strategies, and compliance as part of periodic risk assessments; it may also act as a co‑advisor when using certain platforms. Clients engaging in ongoing planning receive continuous access to the adviser with quarterly check‑ins and coordinated referrals or participation with attorneys and tax professionals as needed.
Noteworthy for a solo, state‑registered independent adviser, the firm explicitly provides services to employer/plan sponsors and other business clients and administers employee benefit plan reviews—client types more commonly handled by larger firms. The practice manages about $14.7 million across a small client base and documents its use of institutional platforms (Betterment Institutional and GeoWealth/Schwab) and third‑party estate‑document services, producing a concentrated, implementation‑focused relationship distinct from many peers.

Advisors at this firm
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.
