About
Sherpa Financial Guides, Inc. is a small registered investment adviser that serves individual clients, including high‑net‑worth individuals, through investment advisory and financial planning services. The firm offers managed accounts (both discretionary and non‑discretionary), financial planning consulting, and ongoing portfolio management, and it maintains a stated $10,000 minimum account size.
The firm tailors advice to each client’s objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon and employs strategies such as asset allocation, dollar‑cost averaging, technical analysis, and both long‑ and short‑term purchases as appropriate. SFG recommends using an independent qualified custodian (Charles Schwab), conducts at least quarterly account reviews, and may trade with discretionary authority when clients grant written authorization and limits.
SFG’s brochure discloses several features that are less common among peers: its public materials reference hypothetical performance examples, third‑party ratings, and past performance results, and its representatives are licensed insurance agents who may offer commissionable insurance products (the brochure notes up to 30% of a representative’s time may be spent on insurance activities). The brochure also discloses that the owner provides tax preparation separately (a smaller portion of time) and describes the firm’s fiduciary obligations and disclosure practices intended to address the potential conflicts those ancillary activities create.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
