About
Avalon Financial Advisors serves individual clients and trusts, offering financial planning, ongoing investment management, and consultative hourly advice on topics such as retirement, taxes, estate planning, and special needs. The firm operates as a solo, fee-only registered investment adviser with a small client base and provides ongoing portfolio oversight on a non‑discretionary basis as well as limited‑scope planning engagements.
The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, diversification across multiple asset classes, and fundamental analysis, with primary use of no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, individual fixed income, and occasional individual equities. Portfolios are reviewed periodically and rebalanced with client approval, and the adviser explicitly considers tax efficiency, employer plan constraints, and written investment policy statements when setting allocations and risk tolerances.
What is distinctive about the firm is the principal’s cross-disciplinary credentials: the principal is an Enrolled Agent and a licensed real estate broker who operates an affiliated tax and bookkeeping practice and may be separately engaged to advise on tax or real estate matters — affiliations that are uncommon among independent solo advisory firms. The firm also emphasizes non‑discretionary management (client approval required for trades) and discloses potential conflicts from its tax and real estate activities while noting it does not accept commissions on recommended investment products.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
