About
Astute Financial, LLC is a small, state‑registered advisory firm founded in 2019 that manages approximately $81.6 million for about 43 clients through two advisors. It provides discretionary portfolio management and ongoing comprehensive financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), small businesses, and irrevocable trusts.
The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and typically blends passive and active investment vehicles to implement client‑specific investment policy statements, with regular quarterly reviews and discretionary trading. It also offers an ongoing financial planning service that produces written plans, monitoring, and annual plan updates as part of a subscription relationship.
Notably, the firm is affiliated with another registered investment adviser and with an affiliated accounting/CPA firm—arrangements the brochure identifies as uncommon among peers—and has recently merged with an affiliated advisory entity. Clients may, under separate agreements, receive services from multiple affiliated firms (with separate fees and no referral compensation), and the firm discloses that key personnel split time across the advisory and accounting businesses, which the firm says informs how services are coordinated and supervised.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
