About

Birchbrook provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and self‑directed retirement plans. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, customized financial planning engagements, and fiduciary services acting as trustee or personal representative for estates and trusts.

Portfolios are constructed using fundamental analysis and tailored to each client’s objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance, employing individual equities, mutual funds, ETFs, bonds and cash equivalents with regular, event‑driven reviews. Accounts are primarily managed on a discretionary basis, with written agreements, periodic reporting and a quarter‑end review cadence; clients receive quarterly portfolio reports and a quarterly investment newsletter.

Distinctive elements in the firm’s brochure include legal and fiduciary depth in the leadership—several principals have prior law‑firm and trust/estate practice experience and the firm maintains a compliance officer with a law degree—which informs its trustee and estate administration work often provided alongside investment services. Birchbrook also publishes a firm investment newsletter, participates in industry educational programs, and enrolls clients in a third‑party securities‑litigation claims filing service (with an opt‑out option), features that are less common among peer team firms.

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
