About
Smart Steps Wealth Management serves individuals, trusts, corporations and retirement plans, offering asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, standalone financial planning and ongoing retirement plan consulting for employer plan sponsors. The firm’s services extend to portfolio management for institutional clients, including pension and profit-sharing plans, as described in its advisory agreements.
Portfolios are tailored and continuously monitored with periodic rebalancing, and the firm employs a range of analytical methods — including fundamental, quantitative, technical, sector and cyclical analysis — while adhering to duration constraints for fixed income allocations. The brochure discloses the use of derivatives (such as options) in separately managed accounts and notes that margin and short-sale strategies may be used where appropriate, with associated risks disclosed to clients.
Compared with peers, Smart Steps is an outlier in maintaining seven offices despite operating as a single‑advisor independent firm with roughly $81.5 million in discretionary AUM and about 278 clients. The firm also highlights its ERISA-aware retirement plan consulting (including recognition of 3(21)/3(38) fiduciary roles) and states it conducts periodic due diligence on third‑party service providers that utilize artificial intelligence or machine‑learning components.

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.
