About

Providence Financial and Insurance Services is a team investment adviser serving individual clients, including high-net-worth households, with discretionary investment management, comprehensive financial and estate planning, and related consulting. The firm also offers insurance brokerage and consultative services and may recommend fixed or indexed insurance products as part of a client’s plan.

Providence generally follows a buy-and-hold approach using income-producing securities, ETFs, mutual funds and bonds, provides ongoing portfolio supervision through preferred custodians, and offers tailored financial planning and estate-planning advice. The firm also manages held-away retirement plan participant accounts using a third‑party order management platform that requires clients to grant the vendor access to account credentials, and it refers clients to a single selected third‑party money manager as part of its service options.

Several features distinguish Providence from many peers: the firm is affiliated with an in‑house legal practice and its principal is a licensed attorney who can provide estate-planning legal services, and staff are independently licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions on certain insurance products. The brochure discloses reliance on third‑party technology and marketing arrangements—including a referral relationship tied to national radio/marketing channels—and notes cybersecurity and conflict‑of‑interest considerations related to the third‑party platform and the firm’s exclusive third‑party manager relationship, in which a principal holds a personal investment in the manager’s parent company.

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.
