Business Financial Strategies, Ltd.

About
The firm provides financial planning, investment management, and bespoke consulting to small businesses, business owners, and individual clients, including services such as budget forecasting and trust administration (the firm does not serve as trustee). It manages roughly $27.7 million for a very small client base and delivers written, personalized financial plans and periodic portfolio reports.
The advisor’s investment process is long‑term and buy‑and‑hold oriented, using a model asset allocation informed by a macroeconomic perspective and implemented primarily with mutual funds and ETFs, with occasional use of REITs, MLPs, individual bonds, and equity options where appropriate. Portfolio oversight is conducted on a non‑discretionary basis: the firm prepares detailed buy/sell recommendations and requires client approval to execute trades, although it can place trades for clients under a Limited Power of Attorney if authorized.
Distinctive features include a near‑total concentration of assets managed non‑discretionarily (a relatively uncommon practice among independent solo advisers) and a decision to stop accepting new clients as of January 1, 2017, resulting in a small, steady roster. The firm operates on a fee‑only basis (no commissions or performance‑based fees), uses a major custodian’s advisor services for execution and reporting, maintains a policy of not taking custody, and does not vote client proxies.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
