Fiduciary Counsel, Inc.

Fiduciary Counsel, Inc. is a solo registered investment adviser that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and tax‑related services to individuals, families, trusts, and business entities. The firm delivers investment supervision with client assets custodied at Charles Schwab and offers tax preparation and tax planning under separate engagement letters.

The firm relies on third‑party platforms for portfolio construction and trading — using Envestnet for active manager access, rebalancing and risk profiling and Dimensional Fund Advisors for passive strategies — and applies Envestnet risk questionnaires to select model allocations. Clients may be enrolled in an Envestnet wrap program, have accounts managed at Schwab, or connect held‑away defined contribution plan participant accounts for review and rebalancing; accounts are reviewed at least quarterly.

What is distinctive for a one‑advisor independent firm is the combination of offering tax preparation services alongside investment advice and the principal’s accounting background and prior experience managing funds for nonprofit and captive insurance arrangements, a set of services the brochure notes can create conflicts that the firm discloses and seeks to mitigate. The firm’s use of held‑away plan connectivity and relationships with third‑party model providers means it manages institutional‑type assets in addition to individual client portfolios, a less common feature among similarly sized independent advisers.
