About
Ortman Finances, LLC provides investment management and financial planning to individual clients, including high-net-worth individuals, on a fee-only basis. Services include discretionary portfolio management and both ongoing and project-based planning that address retirement, tax considerations, estate planning, college savings, insurance review, and business planning.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes asset allocation guided by modern portfolio theory and a mix of passive vehicles alongside fundamental analysis, setting target allocations and managing accounts on a discretionary basis. Ortman Finances recommends a specific custodial platform for trade execution, executes client trades on an individual (non-blocked) basis, and relies on custodial account statements for client reporting rather than producing separate firm performance reports.
Noteworthy features for a solo, independent adviser include its recent establishment and dual registration in South Dakota and Iowa, a relatively small asset base and client roster, and an explicit practice of collaborating with clients’ attorneys and tax professionals on implementation. The firm also maintains an active social media presence and offers services tailored to business owners (including business start-up and exit planning and employee benefits optimization), which may be less common among advisers of similar scale.

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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
