About
Oakwater Financial Advisors LLC provides portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting for employer-sponsored plans (including 401(k) plans), and selection-of-adviser services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities. The firm documents client objectives in an Investment Policy Statement and may manage accounts on a discretionary basis.
The firm employs multiple methods of analysis — charting, fundamental, quantitative and technical — and uses a broad range of strategies from long‑term investing to short‑term trading, short sales and options, and may include mutual funds, ETFs, REITs, private equity, hedge funds, annuities and commodities in client portfolios. Oakwater may also refer clients to third‑party managers and states a policy to allocate investment opportunities fairly while acting as a fiduciary.
Noteworthy for a firm of its size, the principal owner maintains active outside practices: he is a certified public accountant and partner in an affiliated accounting firm (about 10–15 hours per week) and is a licensed insurance agent who owns an affiliated insurance/risk‑management entity (about 2 hours per week), activities the firm discloses as potential conflicts of interest. The combination of those affiliations with an offered suite of pension consulting services (manager selection, monitoring, and written plan development) distinguishes the firm from many peers.

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.
