About
Brilliant Financial Advisors LLC provides ongoing portfolio management and financial planning services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and business clients. The firm documents client goals and risk tolerance in written investment policy statements and delivers tailored portfolio management alongside one-time or negotiated financial planning engagements.
The firm’s investment approach draws on fundamental analysis, modern portfolio theory, and technical analysis, and it implements both long- and short-term trading strategies, including the use of margin and short sales, as well as mutual funds, ETFs, equities, and annuities. BFAL typically seeks discretionary trading authority, monitors accounts periodically, and delivers account reporting through custodian statements.
Noteworthy features that distinguish the firm from many peers are its acceptance of performance‑based advisory arrangements for accredited clients using a high‑water‑mark mechanism, and that the firm’s principal is a licensed insurance agent who offers insurance products (including annuities) and may receive commissions—conflicts related to those activities are disclosed and reviewed. The firm also requires clients to custody assets with specified institutional custodians and may receive research or other services from those custodians, which can affect broker selection.

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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
