About

Montgomery Financial serves individual clients — including high‑net‑worth households — and sponsors or advises qualified retirement plans. The firm provides discretionary asset management through a sub‑adviser platform, ERISA plan advisory services (often as a limited‑scope 3(21) advisor), financial analyses, and educational seminars and workshops.

For portfolio management the firm primarily uses AE Wealth Management’s sub‑adviser program, taking discretionary authority to select, hire, and replace sub‑advisors and, in some cases, to appoint or further delegate authority to other advisors. Investment programs are implemented with asset allocation models, periodic rebalancing, and investments in mutual funds and similar vehicles, while retirement plan engagements typically include IPS development, monitoring, and participant education.

Compared with many peers, Montgomery Financial explicitly structures its practice around affiliations with other investment advisers and a sub‑advisory platform — including participation in platform‑sponsored conferences — a relationship the brochure highlights and documents. The firm also routinely offers no‑fee public seminars and the managing member maintains a concurrent insurance practice (approximately 40% of his time), which the brochure discloses as a potential conflict with stated mitigation procedures.

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.
