About

Western Reserve Capital Management serves individuals — including both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth clients — as well as charitable organizations and businesses. The firm offers discretionary investment management and comprehensive financial planning on both ongoing and project bases and operates as a fee‑only adviser.

WRCM frames portfolio construction around asset allocation and modern portfolio theory, combining passive funds with active strategies and multiple analysis methods, including fundamental, technical, and charting techniques. It advises on a broad range of holdings (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, municipal and U.S. government securities) and tailors plans to client goals, risk tolerance, tax considerations, and family circumstances.

Distinctive features include its modest adviser team and AUM relative to larger firms, a recent transition to SEC registration, and use of certain institutional mutual funds (including Dimensional Fund Advisors) that are generally available only through approved advisers. The firm emphasizes written financial planning across many areas — business and employee benefits consulting, estate and tax considerations, insurance and cash‑flow management — does not accept commission‑based compensation, and recommends a primary custodian while disclosing the institutional services the custodian provides.

Western Reserve Capital Management, LLC

I'm Gage Paul, CFP®, and Co-founder of Western Reserve Capital Management, LLC, a fee-only financial planning firm serving established families and professionals across Northeast Ohio, with offices in Hudson, New Philadelphia, and Akron. We started this firm because we believed there was a better way to deliver financial advice, one built on transparency, trust, and your best interests rather than commissions or product sales. That belief still drives everything we do. My approach starts with a comprehensive, project-based financial plan, typically ranging from $2,500 to $4,000, giving you a clear, actionable roadmap without the pressure of an ongoing commitment. For clients who want continued support, we also offer ongoing wealth management on an AUM basis. Whether you're navigating a major financial transition, trying to optimize your tax situation, planning for retirement, or want a second opinion from someone who isn't trying to sell you something, we'd love to help. What you can expect when working with us: honest conversations, personalized strategies, and advice built around your life and goals, not a one-size-fits-all product.

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.
