About
Bourbon Financial Management is a small, fee-only independent advisory firm that provides comprehensive financial planning and investment advice to individuals and families and, occasionally, to business clients. Services include retirement and pension consulting, development of written financial plans and investment policy recommendations, periodic portfolio reviews, manager searches, and recommendations of mutual funds, ETFs and, in limited cases, illiquid direct participation investments.
The firm follows a research-driven, long-term asset allocation approach grounded in academic evidence and Modern Portfolio Theory, emphasizing low-cost mutual funds and ETFs and a disciplined rebalancing process rather than market timing. Advice is provided on a non-discretionary basis through written plans and annual or as-needed reviews, with an emphasis on investor education and clear documentation of recommendations.
Compared with many independent advisers, the firm does not charge percentage-of-assets fees; it uses a flat monthly fee structure with a larger initial planning payment and does not take custody or discretionary authority over client accounts. It also offers occasional client newsletters and educational seminars and provides pension/retirement-plan consulting—services that are relatively uncommon among peers and that align with the firm’s institutional experience and professional credentials.

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
