About
Brian Thompson Financial provides financial planning and portfolio management to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, and corporations or other businesses. The firm’s service menu includes a Comprehensive Care personal planning program and a business‑focused Comprehensive Care model that integrates planning, investment advisory services, and coordination with outside managers.
The firm’s stated investment approach is primarily passive, using diversified allocations built with low‑cost index mutual funds and ETFs, while also recommending and monitoring third‑party outside managers where appropriate. Client work follows an intensive first‑year planning cadence with ongoing quarterly or semiannual reviews, regular tax‑return and employee‑benefits reviews, and a two‑phase business offering (Discovery followed by tiered ongoing advisory or fractional CFO support).
Distinctive features in the brochure include an affiliated tax practice (Brian Thompson Tax LLC) and disclosure that the principal spends a portion of time preparing taxes and providing tax representation; the adviser also reviews or prepares tax returns for clients for an additional fee, which is an uncommon arrangement for independent advisers. The firm also scopes operational and project‑based services (bookkeeping, payroll support, restructuring projects) and offers tiered fractional CFO work for owner‑led businesses, a combination that situates it to handle business and tax issues that many solo independent advisers do not typically provide.

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
