About

The firm provides fee‑only investment management to individuals, their grantor trusts, Individual Retirement Accounts, and minor custodial accounts, managing roughly $74.3 million across about 64 client relationships with two advisors. It does not sell commissioned products and describes clients as retaining final authority while the firm implements portfolio designs built from institutional asset‑class funds.

Strategic Investment Advisors follows a long‑term, passive asset‑allocation approach using Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) funds and money market holdings for liquidity, with discretionary trading under a limited power of attorney and periodic rebalancing. Accounts are custodied at Charles Schwab Institutional, reviewed at least semi‑annually, and advisory services are billed as a percentage of assets under management.

The firm is under common ownership with a certified public accounting practice and its principal holds CPA and Personal Financial Specialist credentials; the affiliated accounting practice frequently provides tax and retirement planning that can lead clients to engage the adviser for investment management, a relationship the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm has also disclosed an asset sale and a planned client transition to another registered adviser with an intended completion in mid‑2026, which may affect the availability and structure of ongoing services.

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.
