About
Taylor & Associates serves individuals, families, trusts, retirement plans and small business entities, offering investment advisory services, modular financial planning and ongoing portfolio monitoring. The firm also provides insurance products and advice under a separate individual insurance license, with insurance activities disclosed and conducted separately from its fee-based advisory services.
The firm follows a long-term, buy-and-hold allocation approach using individual stocks and bonds, ETFs, no‑load mutual funds, REITs and variable annuity sub‑accounts, with periodic reviews and rebalancing. Uncommonly for its peer group, Taylor & Associates reports that it monitors roughly $18.22 million across 24 non‑discretionary accounts, so investment trades are made with client authorization rather than by discretionary authority.
Noteworthy distinctions include the combination of fee advisory services with separately offered insurance work (the brochure discloses about ten hours per month devoted to insurance activity) and a solo-practitioner model that emphasizes personal contact and client control. The firm also discloses it will not exercise trading discretion or vote client proxies and provides reporting in multiple delivery formats, which may suit clients who prefer hands‑on decision‑making and documented recommendations.

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.
