About

Rice Financial Consulting provides manager‑supervisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporate entities, and the firm states it applies no account minimum. It directs clients to third‑party advisers and works with Matson Money to construct mutual fund and annuity allocations rather than conducting in‑house trading.

The firm’s stated investment framework references modern portfolio theory and a long‑term trading orientation, but Rice does not execute trades or accept discretionary authority; instead it refers assets to outside managers and reviews their ongoing performance. It reports roughly $287 million in assets under management that are primarily non‑discretionary.

Distinctive elements include the referral/fee‑share model with third‑party managers (rather than direct portfolio management or comprehensive financial planning) and the firm’s explicit absence of discretionary trading and wrap‑fee participation—features the brochure notes are uncommon among similar team firms. The brochure also discloses that a firm principal holds an insurance license and may offer commissionable insurance products, which the firm says it discloses as a potential conflict of interest.

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.
