About

BCN Financial provides retirement plan advisory and related financial planning services primarily to participants of employer-sponsored retirement plans and to members of over 200 Police and Fire Department associations, as well as to pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and private corporations. As of October 1, 2025 the firm reported $81.3 million in assets under advisement and typically provides specific non‑discretionary advice for those accounts, with clients executing recommended trades when discretion is not granted.

The firm’s investment process centers on mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including the use of unleveraged inverse ETFs, and combines fundamental, technical and sentiment analysis with a market‑timing component rather than a passive buy‑and‑hold approach; BCN says it rarely engages in short‑term trading. Reviews and recommendations are often constrained to the investment options available inside employer plans, and the firm provides regular client reporting—quarterly portfolio reports and annual performance analyses that include prior‑year results and year‑in‑review commentary.

BCN is distinctive among similar-sized team firms in publishing periodic client reports/newsletter‑style materials and in making performance results a visible part of its client communications, practices that the brochure notes are uncommon among peers. The firm’s client mix is concentrated in plan participants and public‑safety association members rather than the typical high‑net‑worth or broad retail individual segments, and BCN discloses dual registrations and third‑party relationships (including transition support from LPL and economic benefits from Charles Schwab) as potential conflicts of interest.

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
