About
The firm provides portfolio management, situational financial planning, and investment consulting to individuals, companies, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. It operates as a fee-only, state-registered advisor and typically manages client accounts on a discretionary basis while also offering hourly planning and one‑time consulting engagements.
Investment strategy is market-based and focused on long-term allocation, with portfolios constructed primarily using ETFs to achieve diversification and lower holding costs; the firm uses client profile forms and risk questionnaires to tailor allocations. The adviser conducts fundamental and market research using third‑party sources and actively monitors portfolios, occasionally making tactical exits and re‑entries during extreme market events.
Noteworthy features include the firm’s very small scale — roughly $1.6 million in assets under management across a handful of clients — and its solo‑practitioner structure that emphasizes individualized attention. The principal also serves in outside advisory roles to business owners and as a subadvisor to another planning firm (disclosed as unrelated), and the firm’s custody and brokerage choices emphasize low transaction costs and the ability to rebalance intraday when warranted.

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.
