About
Black Diamond Financial, LLC provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and other entities. The firm manages approximately $1.37 billion in client assets, operates with a multi‑advisor team, and also offers access to private pooled investment vehicles for qualifying accredited investors.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation and low‑cost, index‑based core exposures, with an overlay of tax‑aware portfolio construction and the selective use of institutional‑quality private investments to pursue illiquidity premiums or yield. Client relationships are documented through individualized Investment Policy Statements and include ongoing portfolio management, project‑based financial planning, and ERISA plan services including the option to act as a 3(38) investment manager.
Distinctive features include Black Diamond’s role as an adviser and sponsor of unregistered private pooled investment vehicles — the firm serves as investment manager to several funds (including a fund launched in 2025) that provide private placement offerings and receive annual PCAOB audits — and it requires client subscription paperwork before those fund investments are processed rather than authorizing purchases via discretionary trading authority. The brochure also discloses an affiliation with an accounting firm owned by some of the firm’s representatives, a relationship that can lead to referrals to affiliated accounting services and is identified as a potential conflict 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.
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
