About
Brown Financial Advisors, LLC provides fee-based financial planning and asset management to individuals, including high-net-worth clients and trusts, and offers planning on a negotiable fixed-fee or hourly basis. The firm generally charges fees based on a percentage of assets under management and delivers portfolio management through a co-advisor relationship with Gradient Investments.
BFA’s advisory process centers on recommending and overseeing third-party model portfolios managed by Gradient; the firm assists clients with model selection and retains discretion to select and change models while the third party manages underlying holdings. For financial planning and security review BFA uses fundamental analysis for insurance and planning work and technical analysis for funds and stocks, documents client objectives in investment policy statements, and conducts periodic account reviews.
Compared with peers, BFA’s structure is notable: it reports roughly $323 million in AUM, operates five offices, and serves 613 clients with three advisors — a client-to-advisor ratio of over 200, which is unusual for firms of this category. The firm is affiliated with an insurance and tax advisory business and participates in a fee-sharing and incentive arrangement with its co-advisor, relationships the brochure discloses as potential conflicts of interest and describes mitigants for.

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
