About

Belleair Wealth Management, LLC is a fee‑based registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and wealth‑management services to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, and also offers standalone consulting on retirement plan benchmarking, consolidated reporting, real‑estate and private‑placement reviews, and insurance/annuity contract analysis. The firm reports approximately $111 million in discretionary assets under management across about 150 client relationships.

Belleair implements diversified, discretionary asset‑allocation portfolios composed of equities, fixed‑income securities, mutual funds, ETFs and cash, and when appropriate employs options and other derivatives—explicitly avoiding uncovered option sales—to manage risk and pursue returns. Its investment process combines fundamental, quantitative, technical, cyclical and behavioral analysis and uses portfolio construction tools such as modern/post‑modern portfolio theory, core‑satellite structures and tactical allocation modeling.

The firm’s brochure discloses two relatively uncommon affiliations for a firm of this size: an affiliated insurance agency whose principals are licensed to sell life, health and annuity products, and an affiliated CPA/accounting practice whose principal devotes substantial time during tax season. Those relationships, and the potential for in‑house referrals or commission income, are identified as possible conflicts of interest and the firm documents disclosures and time‑management considerations to address them while offering both managed accounts and separate consulting engagements.

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
