Mason Financial Services

Mason Financial Services provides discretionary portfolio management and related investment advisory services primarily to individual and high‑net‑worth clients. The firm’s brochure also discloses that the firm’s principal offers separately contracted CPA/tax preparation services and is a licensed insurance producer, and those services may be offered to advisory clients outside of the advisory agreement.

The firm’s investment process is discretionary and begins with documenting client goals and risk tolerance in an investment policy statement; portfolio construction and monitoring use fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and may include long‑ and short‑term holdings, trading and option strategies. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and the firm bills fees as a percentage of assets under management with administrative billing and custody handled through third‑party custodians.

What distinguishes this firm from many peers is the principal’s dual role as an active CPA with roughly half of his time devoted to tax and accounting work offered under the same business name, and the firm’s ability to offer insurance products for separate compensation. The brochure also notes the principal’s public‑sector fiduciary roles — oversight of a county investment pool and participation on a county employees’ retirement board — which the firm identifies as relevant expertise and potential sources of conflicts that are disclosed to clients.
