About
Bentley Financial Group provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm offers ongoing asset management, financial planning and consulting, and retirement-plan advisory services, and manages approximately $393 million in discretionary client assets.
The firm typically implements client-directed investment policy statements and uses fundamental analysis, options for hedging when appropriate, and third-party Independent Managers for portions of client portfolios; accounts are monitored continuously with formal reviews at least annually. Bentley also offers managed account access through multiple LPL-sponsored programs (including Manager Access Select, MWP, OMP, and the algorithm-driven Guided Wealth Portfolios) and can arrange portfolios within its BFG Wrap Program.
Compared with many peers, Bentley operates both as an investment adviser and in retail brokerage capacities via associated persons who are registered representatives of LPL, and some representatives maintain insurance appointments that generate separate compensation. The firm’s role as sponsor/manager of a wrap program, its deep operational relationship with LPL (including receipt of Transition Assistance and platform services), and its use of multiple LPL program platforms are notable features that can affect how services are delivered and custodial/brokerage arrangements are selected.

Advisors at this firm
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
