About

The Retirement Specialist of Central Ohio provides investment management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and self‑employed or small business owners. Its services include tailored portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning (retirement, estate, tax and insurance reviews), and subscription‑based offerings combined with an online platform that aggregates client assets for reporting.

The firm develops individualized investment policies and asset‑allocation targets and uses fundamental analysis as its primary method of investment analysis; it may employ sub‑advisers or refer clients to other registered advisers and share in referral fees. It manages discretionary assets while also offering non‑discretionary subscription programs and a platform that identifies “Excluded Assets” which the adviser reports but does not manage.

Distinctive features noted in the brochure include that the managing member is licensed to sell life and health insurance through his business, Senior Services of Lake and Cook Co., and may receive commissions for such sales (commissions are not used to offset advisory fees). The firm also discloses a historical customer arbitration/complaint (filed in 2007 and settled in 2008), reliance on the managing member as the sole employee with no formal continuation plan upon his death, and acceptance of non‑cash benefits on certain due‑diligence trips — all items the brochure flags as potential operational or conflict‑of‑interest considerations.

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.
