About

Seasons of Advice Wealth Management works with individuals, high net worth clients, trusts, small business owners, professionals and both traditional and nontraditional families, typically with relationships beginning around $100,000. The firm provides financial planning and portfolio management, operating three wrap-fee investment programs and offering held-away account oversight and fixed‑income portfolios via a PIMCO sub‑advisory arrangement.

The firm’s investment advice is organized around its "Seasons of Advice" planning process, which sequences goal tracking, asset allocation, family and cash‑flow reviews and year‑end tax planning to align recommendations with clients’ life stages. SOA integrates held‑away accounts using an order management system from Pontera Solutions, and discloses ERISA and IRC fiduciary duties for plan and IRA advice.

SOA is an indirect subsidiary of Focus Financial Partners and indirectly owned by investment vehicles affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and Stone Point, and it operates alongside other Focus Partners that include broker‑dealers, pension consultants and firms that manage private funds. The firm also refers clients to an affiliate, Focus Risk Solutions (FRS), for insurance placement (where FRS may receive commissions and platform fees) and uses paid promoters who receive a percentage of advisory fees for certain client referrals; these corporate affiliations and referral arrangements are disclosed as potential conflicts 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.
