About

Three Bearings Fiduciary Advisors provides personalized financial planning and investment management to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, municipalities, and small businesses. The firm operates on a fee‑only basis and integrates related services—such as tax preparation and bookkeeping—into its comprehensive, retainer, nonprofit, and municipal engagement agreements.

Investment strategies are implemented using a strategic asset-allocation, core–satellite approach that relies primarily on passively managed index funds and ETFs while allocating to active managers where judged appropriate; advisors document objectives in Investment Policy Statements and may trade on a discretionary basis under a limited power of attorney. The firm also offers held‑away account services for 401(k) plans, 529s, and variable annuities and delivers periodic portfolio reviews and performance reporting to clients.

Compared with many peers, Three Bearings explicitly serves municipal clients through Municipal Investment Management Agreements that include investment management and bookkeeping (including a fixed-fee option for smaller town and library trust funds). The firm also routinely provides tax-preparation services as part of client engagements, maintains a minority ownership interest in National Advisors Holdings and may recommend National Advisors Trust for trustee services, and issues quarterly portfolio- and security-level performance reports for managed accounts.

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.
