About

Paoli Financial Advisors provides ongoing asset management and retirement-plan consulting to a small, concentrated client base, with roughly $10.7 million in assets under management across nine client relationships. The firm works with high‑net‑worth individuals and plan sponsors, offering portfolio management, investment policy development, and both fiduciary and non‑fiduciary retirement plan services including participant education and due‑diligence reviews.

The firm typically constructs diversified portfolios using mutual funds and fundamental analysis, and it manages accounts on a non‑discretionary basis, requiring client approval before implementing trades and conducting at least quarterly reviews. Its advisory work emphasizes individualized planning and client‑directed investment restrictions rather than delegated trading authority or the use of third‑party money managers.

Distinctive features noted in the brochure include that the firm’s principals also operate an affiliated law practice and an affiliated accounting firm and may provide or refer clients to legal and tax/accounting services, arrangements the brochure discloses as potential conflicts of interest. Combined with the firm’s small scale, concentrated client roster, and primarily non‑discretionary management model, these affiliations and cross‑referral practices differentiate it 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.
