About
Carson Advisory Group provides financial planning and investment management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations, and small businesses. Services described in the brochure include tailored financial planning, retirement plan consulting and implementation, and both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management across clients’ accounts.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation using institutional no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities, bonds and select alternative investments, with personalized recommendations based on client goals and risk tolerance. Carson Advisory Group also offers and implements managed and wrap programs (including its Ambassador wrap fee program and Raymond James‑administered platforms such as RJCS, Freedom and Freedom UMA) and may use tools such as options writing and margin in separately managed accounts when appropriate.
Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include the firm’s role as a wrap‑fee program sponsor and its use of third‑party referral/solicitor arrangements (for example, relationships with SmartAsset, BlueStar Connections and The 401K Advisor Line), which the firm discloses as potential sources of referral‑related conflicts. The firm’s operations are closely integrated with Raymond James—custody, managed program subadvisory relationships, email hosting, and many advisors’ broker‑dealer registrations—which the brochure identifies as important to service delivery and as a source of potential conflicts or revenue sharing (including participation in margin and securities‑based lending programs).

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
