About

Western New York Financial Group serves individuals, corporations, and pension and profit‑sharing plans with comprehensive financial planning, portfolio management, retirement plan consulting, and estate settlement services. The firm also recommends and monitors third‑party investment advisers and provides participant enrollment and education services for qualified retirement plans.

The firm manages client accounts using a proprietary investment model that relies on technical analysis, tailoring portfolios to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance and exercising discretionary trading authority when engaged. It actively monitors and rebalances accounts, conducts at least annual reviews, and may delegate day‑to‑day portfolio management or execution to recommended third‑party advisers while maintaining oversight.

Notable aspects disclosed in the brochure include that one owner is a licensed insurance agent who may receive commissions for insurance sales, a potential conflict the firm says it mitigates through disclosures and policies. The firm also notes it formerly linked held‑away retirement accounts through a third‑party platform (Pontera/formerly FeeX) but has since delinked those accounts, and operates with two managing members overseeing roughly $84 million in discretionary assets for about 199 clients.

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.
