About

The Leonard Financial Group provides financial planning, investment management, and consulting services to individuals (including both high-net-worth and non‑HNW clients) and charitable organizations. The firm delivers written financial plans following in‑depth personal interviews and manages client portfolios on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes asset allocation and mutual fund/ETF analysis alongside technical analysis, and the brochure discloses use of both long‑ and short‑term trading strategies as well as options, margin and short sales when appropriate. Financial plans are typically delivered within six months when information is provided promptly, and ongoing account supervision is guided by each client’s stated goals, time horizon and tax considerations.

Compared with many peers, the brochure notes the firm conducts educational seminars and workshops for clients, an offering that is relatively uncommon among similar supported advisers. The small advisory team manages roughly $47.8 million for about 74 clients and highlights professional credentials such as CFP and AEP among its personnel, while also documenting detailed practices for custody, trade execution and a formal Code of Ethics.

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.
