About

Alpha Financial Advisors serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients and a small number of retirement plan clients, generally accepting households at or above a stated investable‑asset threshold. The firm offers ongoing life‑oriented financial planning and a range of services including investment management, retirement planning, tax and cash‑flow analysis, insurance counseling, and coordination of estate planning.

The firm provides discretionary portfolio management billed as a percentage of assets under management and describes its advice as holistic and goal‑driven, using client questionnaires and regular reviews to set personalized investment policies. Its investment process combines multiple methods — including fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis, charting, cyclical analysis, modern portfolio theory and an emphasis on mutual funds and ETFs drawn from an institutional universe of over 10,000 funds — and seeks to limit turnover and tax friction through its trading methodology.

Alpha is structured as an independent, fee‑only adviser that discloses no commission or third‑party sales compensation and reports that all reported assets are managed on a discretionary basis. The firm’s principals maintain professional planner designations and participate in fee‑only advisor organizations and regional professional leadership, which the firm cites as central to its ethical and compliance practices.
