About

Bravias Financial advises individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering discretionary investment management and financial planning services. The firm typically bundles financial planning with its investment management offering at no additional charge, while also making standalone planning available when requested.

The firm’s process uses a FactFinder and an Investor Risk Assessment to establish a risk‑tolerance score, after which an adviser generally places clients into one of nine model portfolios that are implemented with a mix of individual securities, mutual funds, ETFs and, when appropriate, cryptocurrency ETFs and international securities. Accounts are continuously monitored and may be customized with reasonable client‑imposed restrictions on asset classes, sectors, or individual securities.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include a routinely recommended affiliated insurance agency under common ownership that the firm uses to implement insurance and annuity recommendations, which the firm identifies as a material conflict of interest. The firm also directs most brokerage to a single custodian and receives related economic benefits, does not vote client proxies (clients retain voting responsibility), and does not impose a fixed account minimum.

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
