About

Align Financial serves individual and high-net-worth clients with comprehensive financial planning and discretionary investment management, including ongoing portfolio supervision and advice on held-away accounts such as annuities and employer retirement plans. The firm manages assets through a combination of in-house planning and access to third‑party model managers and platform providers, and operates from multiple offices to serve a regional client base.

Align’s investment process blends fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis within a largely long‑term, buy‑and‑hold framework while permitting short‑term trading when appropriate; advisers implement client plans using discretionary authority and may incorporate model portfolios and third‑party managers. The firm also uses analytic tools that include AI-assisted processes, with human review required for all recommendations, and provides financial planning as part of its advisory relationships or as a stand‑alone service.

Distinctive features include a recent merger with Agile Retirement Management—Align retains legacy ARM accounts under their pre‑existing service arrangements and, in certain markets, does business as Retire Agile—and the firm sponsors a wrap fee program while continuing to offer non‑wrap legacy arrangements. Align’s marketing and educational footprint is notable for an affiliated education publisher that produces a podcast and a membership program, and the firm maintains multiple physical offices and uses testimonials and endorsements in its advertising, practices that are less common among similarly sized advisory teams.

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.
