About
Balanced Rock Investment Advisors is a fee‑only, SEC‑registered advisory firm organized as a small team that manages roughly $193 million in discretionary assets. It provides wealth management, financial planning and consulting to individuals, families, trusts, businesses, retirement plans and non‑profits, delivering both discretionary portfolio management and non‑discretionary advice for held‑away accounts.
The firm’s investment process emphasizes long‑term, broadly diversified core‑satellite allocations informed by fundamental and quantitative analysis, and it may employ direct indexing, options, or concentrated sleeves where appropriate to client objectives. BRIA also offers a Values+Value service that integrates ESG screening with traditional value analysis and a DIAL‑In advisory channel that identifies direct, impact and alternative investments for clients who opt into that strategy.
What distinguishes BRIA from many peers is its active facilitation of non‑public and community‑focused investments through the DIAL‑In program—investments that clients execute and document themselves—and its use of third‑party order‑management tools to advise on held‑away accounts at custodians without established firm relationships. The firm operates under a fiduciary, fee‑only model, asserts compliance with CFA Institute codes, and discloses an unusual governance connection in which a principal serves as a board observer for a kelp producer in which clients may be eligible to invest.

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
