Brookside Financial Advisors, LLC

Brookside Financial Advisors is a fee‑based advisory firm that provides financial planning and both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management for individual clients, including one‑time plans, ongoing advice, and a coordinated planning-plus-tax option that includes tax preparation and year‑round tax strategy. The firm also offers management services for variable annuities and variable life products and provides administrative support such as ACH, check writing and RMD servicing.

Investment programs are implemented using client‑specific investment policy statements and risk‑tolerance assessments, with periodic reviews and consolidated household performance reporting. The firm relies substantially on third‑party money managers to implement portfolios and discloses referral fees and incentive arrangements it receives from those managers while monitoring their performance as part of ongoing oversight.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its integration with other professional practices: the firm’s principal operates affiliated tax/accounting and insurance businesses and a law practice that provides estate, probate and related advice, arrangements the brochure identifies and discloses as potential conflicts. The firm also serves a relatively large client base with few advisors and reports that the majority of assets are placed with third‑party managers, a relationship‑and‑execution model that differs from many similarly sized advisory firms.
