About
Castellan Financial Advisors provides fee-only financial planning, investment consultation, and investment supervisory services to individual investors, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm manages roughly $12.8 million for a small client base and also offers hourly planning engagements and implementation assistance when requested.
The adviser uses a core-and-satellite investment approach that blends passive index exposures with select active managers, typically employing mutual funds and ETFs and incorporating both fundamental and technical analysis with periodic, tax-aware rebalancing. Investment recommendations are presented for client approval and, by firm policy, all portfolio actions require client authorization rather than being executed at the firm’s discretion.
Noteworthy features include that all assets reported under management are handled on a non-discretionary basis, a practice that is uncommon among independent advisers and means clients retain final trading authority; the firm also does not vote client proxies. The principal is CFP‑certified and serves in multiple oversight roles, and the firm describes its custodian selection, fiduciary policies (including adherence to a NAPFA-style fiduciary oath), and periodic reviews of conflicts and service providers in its ADV.

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.
