About

The firm provides fee‑based investment management, financial planning, and financial consulting to individual and high‑net‑worth clients and business entities, including reviews of outside accounts and management of held‑away defined‑contribution participant accounts through a third‑party platform. It delivers discretionary portfolio management, may recommend third‑party managers, and operates a wrap fee program for some clients.

The investment process draws on fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis to construct portfolios, with quarterly monitoring, at‑least‑annual reviews, and rebalancing as warranted; trades are executed on a discretionary basis and block trading is used when practical. When engaging third‑party managers the firm serves as liaison, monitors performance and alignment with client objectives, and documents client consent and ongoing oversight of those arrangements.

What is noteworthy is that the firm both sponsors a wrap fee program and maintains an affiliated tax preparation practice run by the firm’s principal (approximately 5% of that person’s time), features the brochure highlights as potential conflicts of interest that are uncommon among peers. The brochure discloses solicitor fees from third‑party managers and describes client disclosures and procedures the firm uses to mitigate these conflicts.

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.
