About

Professional Financial serves primarily individual and high‑net‑worth households as well as related trusts, estates and small institutional relationships, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management alongside financial planning and consulting. Clients receive coordinated, household‑level reporting and quarterly written investment reports, and the firm collaborates with clients’ tax, legal and insurance professionals for implementation when requested.

The firm follows an evidence‑based investment approach, implementing multifactor strategies and institutional mutual funds and ETFs from Dimensional Fund Advisors, including UMA and separately managed account options for concentrated positions. Portfolios are constructed and rebalanced for tax efficiency and coordinated across household accounts, with annual progress reviews and limited use of alternatives or cryptocurrency; the firm also governs use of AI tools through an internal policy.

Compared with many peers, the firm provides centralized aggregated reporting via ByAllAccounts and distributes periodic client communications and periodicals, a service that the brochure highlights as uncommon among supported firms. The brochure also discloses a 2024 SEC settlement related to an advertising disclosure, which the firm notes and addresses in its regulatory disclosures.

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.
