About
Cairn Financial Advisors, LLC is a state‑registered independent investment adviser managing roughly $17.6 million for about 26 clients, serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), as well as corporations and other businesses. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning (one‑time, follow‑up, and hourly engagements), and coordinates access to third‑party sub‑advisers.
The firm’s investment process is individualized and guided by Modern Portfolio Theory, with portfolios constructed to match client goals, risk tolerance and tax considerations; implementation may be through direct management or by recommending sub‑advisers. CFA discloses use of sub‑advisers including Geo Wealth and Betterment, monitors those managers’ holdings and strategies, accepts client‑imposed restrictions, and does not impose an account minimum.
Distinctive features include the principal’s CFP and CDFA credentials and operation of a separate divorce‑financial consulting business, indicating a focused capability in divorce financial planning that is less common among peers. The firm does not accept third‑party compensation, does not vote client proxies (clients retain voting responsibility), and operates with a small client base supported by custodial relationships that provide institutional custody and soft‑dollar services.

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
