About

Black Barn Financial is a registered investment adviser serving individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The four-advisor team manages client portfolios on a discretionary basis and also provides financial planning and consulting engagement options (hourly, project or retainer) while overseeing roughly $165 million in client assets across about 150 accounts.

The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis and implements both long- and short-term strategies tailored to each client’s Investment Policy Statement, with regular quarterly reviews of managed accounts. Portfolio construction can include a range of securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, REITs and options) and allows for client-directed ESG considerations to be integrated into standard allocations.

Compared with many peers, Black Barn emphasizes educational resources as part of its practice, leveraging custodian-sponsored conferences and events to support advisor development and client education and to inform its advice. The firm operates with a small team managing discretionary-only mandates and provides flexibility in planning delivery (one-time reports or ongoing retainers), which shapes how it coordinates investment management and financial planning for clients.
