About
The firm provides fee-only, advice-only financial planning to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and businesses through project-based engagements. Services cover a range of planning topics including cash flow and debt management, retirement and distribution strategies, estate and gift planning, employee benefit optimization, business planning, and investment analysis.
In its recommendations the firm uses established principles such as Modern Portfolio Theory, asset allocation and passive indexing, and conducts mutual fund/ETF and risk analyses as part of financial plans. Deliverables are written reports provided after video meetings and analyses, and clients retain responsibility for implementing recommendations with their chosen custodians and service providers.
Distinctively, the firm does not provide investment management, does not accept custody of client assets, and does not use percentage-of-assets-under-management fee arrangements, relying instead on fixed-fee and hourly planning engagements. The principal brings advanced quantitative and tax credentials — including a master’s in financial mathematics, the CFA charter, and enrolled-agent status — and extended experience in quantitative risk management and insurance, which informs the firm’s emphasis on risk-aware, tax-conscious, and business-oriented planning.

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.
