About
Sound Asset Management, Inc. provides personalized, fee-only financial planning and investment management to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, and small businesses. Core services include comprehensive financial planning (retirement, tax, cash‑flow, education and estate planning), investment supervisory services, and implementation assistance.
The firm emphasizes strategic, globally diversified asset allocation implemented primarily through no‑load or low‑load mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds, while also using individual stocks, bonds and option strategies when appropriate. Client objectives are documented in written investment policy statements, and the firm manages roughly $85 million for about 40 clients, split between discretionary (approximately $48.2M) and non‑discretionary (approximately $36.8M) relationships.
Compared with many independent advisers, Sound Asset Management is notable for its work with institutional retirement clients — including pension and profit‑sharing plans — and for providing pension consulting services, offerings that are uncommon among peers. The firm operates on a fee‑only basis with no commission arrangements, coordinates with outside professionals (including an affiliated CPA firm), and makes both ongoing asset management and standalone or hourly planning available.

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.
