About

Beacon Capital Distributors Advisors (BCD) serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as pension/profit‑sharing plans and business entities. The firm offers portfolio management and asset‑allocation services, financial planning, and access to third‑party money managers, and reports managing about $70 million in discretionary assets for roughly 268 clients with three advisors.

BCD develops an investor profile for each client and tailors portfolios to stated objectives and risk tolerance, using asset allocation, fundamental analysis, and Modern Portfolio Theory as part of its approach. Portfolios are implemented with regular monitoring and quarterly reporting, and the firm may employ both long‑ and short‑term trading strategies or recommend outside managers under an open‑architecture model.

What distinguishes BCD from many peers are its organizational affiliations and related arrangements: the firm is owned by Harris Financial Solutions and its principals act as licensed insurance producers who may offer commissionable life and annuity products, BCD discloses fee‑sharing with third‑party managers and receipt of custodial/technology benefits through platforms such as Envestnet, and it even accepts certain planning fee payments via methods like Venmo. The brochure also discloses a prior Missouri administrative order from 2020 resulting in a $6,000 payment, which the firm reports was paid in full.

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.

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
