About

Capital Investment Advisors, LLC is a multi‑team investment adviser that serves individuals and families across wealth levels, corporate executives, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and retirement plans. It provides integrated financial planning and discretionary portfolio management as well as specialized offerings such as family‑office style services, pension consulting, executive compensation analysis, and access to private investments.

The firm uses a centralized, structured portfolio approach that includes ETF‑based model portfolios and “sleeves,” with advisors tailoring allocations to clients’ risk tolerance, income needs, and goals and engaging third‑party managers for specialized mandates. Financial planning is generally integrated with portfolio management, and the firm deploys in‑house subject matter support — notably a Tax Planning Strategist who is a licensed CPA and an Estate Planning Strategist (a former attorney) — to coordinate tax and estate planning with outside professionals.

Distinctive elements noted in the brochure include the employed CPA strategist and an established pension consulting practice that can serve in ERISA roles and participates in custodial arrangements (including an arrangement with American Trust), a combination that is relatively uncommon among multi‑team firms. The firm also operates affiliated private‑investment platforms (e.g., Altera Private Access and relationships involving Sardis Group), offers exchange‑fund and Delaware Statutory Trust solutions, and provides a standalone executive compensation service, which the brochure discloses can create coordination needs and potential conflicts of interest.

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.

Find your advisor

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
