Align Financial, LLC

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.
