About

Phillip B. White Co., Inc. provides personalized financial planning and investment management for individuals, small pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small businesses. The firm manages discretionary accounts for a concentrated client base and offers other planning services on an hourly or flat‑fee basis.

The firm typically implements strategic asset allocation using a core‑and‑satellite approach across no‑load and low‑load mutual funds and ETFs, and it may recommend or place assets with third‑party money managers or TAMPs when appropriate. Advisors operate with discretionary trading authority under a limited power of attorney, deliver periodic performance and net‑worth reporting, and conduct quarterly account reviews with more frequent reviews as market or client circumstances warrant.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its affiliation with an insurance brokerage: advisory affiliates are licensed insurance brokers who may receive commissions for insurance products they sell to clients, a potential conflict the firm discloses while maintaining that the advisory entity itself operates on a fee‑only basis. The firm also combines a relatively large asset base for a small advisory team with documented operational safeguards (including encrypted offsite backups and business continuity planning) and the use of third‑party custodial and research services.

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.
