About

Brio Financial Group serves individuals (including high net worth households), trusts, employer retirement plans, and business entities, providing discretionary asset management alongside standalone financial planning and retirement plan consulting. The firm reports managing about $1.06 billion in discretionary assets for roughly 800 clients through a multi-advisor team and also makes referrals to third-party money managers and sub-advisors.

Brio delivers individualized portfolio management and conducts regular account reviews, offering both wrapped accounts through its sponsored wrap program and non-wrap arrangements; it uses a mix of fundamental, technical, sector, ETF analysis and third-party manager due diligence in constructing portfolios. For retirement plan clients the firm accepts fiduciary roles under ERISA and notes it operates as a level-fee fiduciary under DOL guidance for retirement accounts.

Noteworthy features include a broader-than-typical financial planning scope — services expressly cover corporate and personal tax planning, cost segregation studies, corporate structure and real estate analysis, and mortgage/lines-of-credit evaluation — and ongoing retirement-plan consulting for plan sponsors. The firm’s advisory personnel are also licensed insurance professionals who may receive separate commission-based compensation for insurance sales, a disclosed conflict the brochure addresses through disclosure and policies.

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
