About

Beacon Financial Advisory LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and pension/profit‑sharing plans, and also offers retirement‑plan consulting and annual tax preparation. The firm reports $900,724,380 in discretionary assets under management for roughly 1,549 client relationships across five offices.

Beacon FA offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and tailors plans using model portfolios and a mix of analytical methods (fundamental, technical, quantitative, and modern portfolio theory). It may employ a range of strategies — including long‑ and short‑term trading, margin and options trading — and uses third‑party/turn‑key managers and platforms such as Symmetry Partners and SEI for some accounts.

Notable features that distinguish Beacon FA from many peers include its multi‑office footprint and the firm’s participation in educational events and workshops made available through its custodian relationships. The firm also operates both wrap and non‑wrap portfolio programs (it continues to manage wrap accounts but has recently ceased sponsoring a wrap program) and its investment adviser representatives maintain multiple outside registrations and insurance/other business activities, disclosures the firm says are addressed in its conflicts‑of‑interest and supervisory policies.

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.
