About
Burkett Financial Services, LLC advises individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates and retirement plans, managing roughly $573 million across about 476 client relationships. The firm provides written and ongoing financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, and retirement plan consulting and fiduciary services (including ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) roles), generally charging percentage‑of‑AUM fees.
Portfolios are built primarily with mutual funds, ETFs and fixed income instruments according to a client‑specific Investment Plan developed at onboarding, and accounts are reviewed at least annually by a five‑advisor investment committee. The firm’s stated strategies include both long‑ and short‑term purchases and may incorporate margin/borrowing in separately managed accounts when implementing investment decisions, and custody and execution are typically arranged through an institutional Schwab platform.
A distinctive feature is the firm’s close affiliation with Burkett Burkett & Burkett CPAs: several principals are shareholders of the accounting firm and multiple advisers hold CPA and CFP credentials, which the brochure notes can lead to shared information and integrated tax‑planning support. Compared with many team advisors, Burkett also emphasizes retirement plan services with model portfolio options and discretionary ERISA management, aligning its wealth management work with institutional plan governance.

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
