About

Creative Financial Strategies serves individuals, small businesses, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, and charitable organizations, providing personalized financial planning, investment management, tax preparation, and business advisory services. The firm is fee‑based and also offers annuities and other commissioned insurance products, reflecting insurance-related activities alongside its advisory services.

The adviser provides investment recommendations primarily on a non‑discretionary basis: clients make the final investment decisions and any limited power of attorney is used only to act at the client's documented direction. Portfolios are implemented through third‑party asset management platforms and guided by written investment policy statements, with periodic reviews and planning options that include hourly engagements, retainers, and comprehensive financial plans.

Noteworthy aspects include DST/1031 exchange consulting and facilitation — with a one‑time consulting arrangement upon implementation — and a broader set of business services (Independent CFO, budgeting, debt and financing consulting) uncommon for many small independent advisers. The firm operates at a small scale (reporting roughly $293,250 in advised assets across about 11 clients as of December 2025) and emphasizes client‑directed decisions rather than delegated portfolio discretion.

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.
