About
Balefire, LLC is an SEC‑registered multi‑team investment adviser that serves individual investors (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, trusts, charities and business entities. The firm offers discretionary asset management, comprehensive financial planning, and ERISA corporate solutions across a multi‑advisor platform managing roughly $2 billion in regulatory assets.
The firm follows a core‑and‑tactical investment approach overseen by an Investment Committee, using third‑party models, CFA input, and a mix of separately managed accounts, mutual funds, ETFs, alternatives and private market securities. Balefire provides ongoing discretionary portfolio management, periodic rebalancing and model oversight, and may engage vetted sub‑advisors to manage portions of client portfolios tailored to individual goals and risk profiles.
Distinctive features noted in the brochure include that some Balefire advisors are concurrently registered representatives of an unaffiliated broker‑dealer (Integrity) and are licensed insurance agents, which can generate commissions or insurance commissions separate from advisory fees. The firm also discloses a 2015 SEC enforcement matter involving a predecessor entity and documents a formal Promoter program that uses compensated testimonials and written oversight and disclosure requirements.

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
