A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Astute Financial, LLC

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Astute Financial, LLC or one who fits your needs even better.

Astute Financial, LLC is a small, state‑registered advisory firm founded in 2019 that manages approximately $81.6 million for about 43 clients through two advisors. It provides discretionary portfolio management and ongoing comprehensive financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), small businesses, and irrevocable trusts. The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and typically blends passive and active investment vehicles to implement client‑specific investment policy statements, with regular quarterly reviews and discretionary trading. It also offers an ongoing financial planning service that produces written plans, monitoring, and annual plan updates as part of a subscription relationship. Notably, the firm is affiliated with another registered investment adviser and with an affiliated accounting/CPA firm—arrangements the brochure identifies as uncommon among peers—and has recently merged with an affiliated advisory entity. Clients may, under separate agreements, receive services from multiple affiliated firms (with separate fees and no referral compensation), and the firm discloses that key personnel split time across the advisory and accounting businesses, which the firm says informs how services are coordinated and supervised.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
