About

Sheehan Financial Advisors serves individual clients — including high-net-worth and non‑HNW households — as well as trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans and business clients. The firm provides financial planning and related services, refers clients to third‑party investment adviser programs, and offers insurance products through licensed personnel.

The firm builds a client risk profile and model asset allocations, then recommends and monitors third‑party advisory platforms rather than managing portfolios directly; it does not accept discretionary investment authority or custody of client assets. Instead of a direct percentage‑of‑AUM billing model, clients pay for planning services and the firm receives solicitor or commission arrangements for referrals and insurance sales.

What distinguishes Sheehan from many peers is its close affiliation with a public accounting practice owned by the firm’s principals, who devote most of their business time to accounting, audit and tax services; this structure emphasizes coordination between tax/accounting work and financial planning. The combination of CPA firm affiliation, solicitor referrals to external managers, and licensed insurance sales within a small three‑advisor practice is an uncommon operating profile for supported firms.

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.
