About

Beacon Financial Group (Beacon Retirement Planning Services, Inc.) provides wealth management, financial planning, retirement and trust/estate consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, foundations and business organizations. The firm delivers discretionary portfolio management and may allocate client assets among mutual funds, ETFs, individual publicly traded securities and selected Independent Managers, managing approximately $1.304 billion in discretionary assets.

Beacon customizes portfolios to client goals and risk tolerance and employs a combination of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis in constructing and monitoring strategies, with regular reviews and the option to use margin in certain portfolios. The firm also engages Independent Managers under written agreements, reviews their disclosures and ongoing performance, and offers financial planning and other services alongside its AUM‑based advisory arrangements.

Beacon is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kestra Financial and discloses multiple related‑party relationships: some representatives are registered with Kestra Investment Services (a broker‑dealer) and are licensed insurance agents, the firm is affiliated with Kestra Investment Management and with Arden Trust Company, and commissions from broker‑dealer or insurance sales are paid to the firm rather than individual advisors. These ownership and affiliation arrangements, along with past participation in a Schwab referral program and receipt of custodial software/support from Charles Schwab and Fidelity, are noted in the brochure and may give rise to potential conflicts of interest when recommending affiliated services or platforms.

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
