About
Aurora Strategic Advisors provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high-net-worth clients, businesses, estates, and corporate retirement plans, including consulting and education for participant-directed 401(k) and 403(b) plans. The firm delivers portfolio management and written financial plans and generally charges percentage-of-assets fees for managed accounts.
The firm gathers client information through interviews and creates customized, documented client profiles to guide asset allocation and risk tolerance; it typically operates on a non-discretionary basis while retaining discretionary authority for some accounts. Investment analysis draws on fundamental, technical/charting, and cyclical methods, and accounts are reviewed continuously with updates triggered by market events or client changes.
Distinctive features include an unusually high client-to-advisor ratio — the brochure lists roughly 347 clients with a single principal advisor — and disclosed disciplinary history in the ADV, including prior arbitration claims and an award, which the firm directs prospective clients to review. The brochure also notes an affiliated insurance agency through which the firm’s principal may receive insurance compensation and a recently added surety bond, both items that bear on conflicts of interest and oversight.

Not sure where to start?
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.
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
