About

Williams & Novak Wealth Management serves individual and high-net-worth clients as well as trusts, estates, retirement plans, and businesses, offering discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, financial planning (including retainer arrangements), and consulting services. The firm also supports third-party manager programs and provides educational workshops and periodic newsletters for current and prospective clients.

The firm’s investment process is generally long‑term oriented and combines fundamental and technical analysis with portfolio construction using individual equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs, options, structured notes, and occasional hedging. Advisors regularly use third‑party platforms and model portfolios and offer direct indexing strategies and tax‑loss harvesting implemented through multiple infrastructure providers.

Williams & Novak is notable among peers for operating a multi‑office practice with a relatively small advisory team and for maintaining affiliated tax preparation and insurance businesses, plus participation in platform programs that can include support or incentive arrangements. The firm also offers two distinct direct‑indexing paths — a fractional‑share, lower‑minimum option via a platform marketplace and a Vanguard‑powered program with a higher account minimum — all of which are disclosed along with potential conflicts arising from affiliated services and platform relationships.

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.
