About

MHS Advisory Services, LLC is an SEC-registered advisory firm that manages roughly $253 million for about 310 clients with a four‑advisor team. The firm offers discretionary (and occasional non‑discretionary) portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, selection of third‑party investment managers, and pension consulting that includes participant education for defined contribution plans.

The firm tailors portfolios to client goals and uses a mix of analytical approaches (fundamental, tactical, charting/cyclical) and instruments including equities, ETFs, mutual funds, covered options, structured notes, buffer ETFs and, where appropriate, cryptocurrency exposures; it also monitors and rebalances accounts and may allocate to third‑party managers. MHS Advisory assists clients with securities‑backed lines of credit and has disclosed use of third‑party AI tools for analysis and meeting transcription, along with related operational and regulatory risks and an option for clients to opt out of recordings.

Noteworthy distinctions relative to many peers include dual registrations of several advisory personnel as broker‑dealer representatives and insurance agents, fee‑sharing arrangements with third‑party advisers, and a custodial/clearing relationship that limits brokerage to pre‑approved providers (Pershing). The firm also includes cash and margin balances when calculating assets under management and has recently updated its disclosures to highlight specific risks (SBLOCs, political risk, AI), practices that may affect client experience compared with other team firms.

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.
