About
Private Financial Management LLC is a solo SEC‑registered adviser that provides ongoing financial planning and execution and discretionary portfolio management, reporting $147,919,933 in discretionary assets across roughly 30 clients. Its planning engagements include implementation support, introductions to other professionals, business planning, employee benefits optimization, and equity‑compensation analysis.
The firm describes an investment approach that blends evidence‑based principles with fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis, using strategic asset allocation with tactical tilts and a mix of active and passive vehicles to match time horizons and tax considerations. Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis under a Limited Power of Attorney, with client assets held at an independent custodian; the brochure notes the firm does not take custody of client assets.
PFM’s brochure highlights services that are atypical for a one‑advisor independent firm, including pension/employee‑benefit consulting and support for pooled‑vehicle portfolio management alongside detailed equity‑compensation work (pre‑IPO considerations and 10b5‑1 plan design). It also reports a notable non‑U.S. client base and a client mix focused on high‑net‑worth individuals rather than typical retail (non‑HNW) individual clients, resulting in relatively high AUM per client.

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.
