About
The Financial Grove LLC is a fee-only, registered investment adviser operating as a solo practitioner that provides discretionary portfolio management and both ongoing and project-based financial planning to individuals, including high-net-worth clients. The firm also offers educational seminars and speaking engagements and coordinates with third-party professionals (attorneys, accountants, tax advisors, and insurance agents) when clients request or require additional services.
The firm develops personalized investment policies and asset-allocation targets through client discussions about goals, risk tolerance, tax considerations, and family circumstances, then manages portfolios to those objectives. Its investment toolkit includes fundamental and cyclical analysis, modern portfolio theory, passive ETF and mutual fund strategies, and the option to incorporate socially responsible (ESG) considerations; clients may impose reasonable investment restrictions while granting the firm discretionary trading authority.
Noteworthy for a small advisory practice with under $1 million in assets and roughly a dozen client relationships, the brochure describes services oriented toward business and institutional needs — including business planning, employee benefits optimization, and consulting for specific projects — and offers seminars that could support corporate, pension, or charitable clients. The firm requires custody through recommended custodians (Charles Schwab or Altruist), follows a formal Code of Ethics and CFP Board standards, and is led by a CFP®-certified principal who also serves as the firm’s chief compliance officer.

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.
