About

Centaurus Financial, Inc. provides advisory and brokerage services to a broad mix of clients including individuals (both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth), families, small businesses, corporations, trusts, and foundations. Its IARs deliver financial planning, portfolio management through the CLASSIC Plus platform (including FlexUMA and TPMM options), retirement-plan consulting, and specialized services such as advisory management of annuity and variable life sub‑accounts.

The firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary arrangements, with a larger share of assets managed on a non‑discretionary basis — $3.21 billion discretionary versus $6.53 billion non‑discretionary as of April 30, 2026 — and IARs employ a mix of fundamental, technical (including charting), bottom‑up and top‑down analysis. Clients may be placed on model overlay programs (FlexUMA) with a third‑party overlay manager, use tax‑overlay services, or be referred to approved third‑party money managers; the firm also has policies to permit a limited set of non‑traded alternative investments (including certain REITs and DPPs) in fee accounts under specified conditions.

Compared with many peers, Centaurus is dually registered as an RIA and a FINRA member broker‑dealer, has management personnel licensed as real estate brokers and insurance agents, and maintains procedures to hold and value certain illiquid real‑estate‑related investments in advisory accounts. Its disclosure history includes multiple regulatory matters resolved with the SEC and FINRA (including a FINRA finding in July 2026), and the firm describes specific conflicts‑of‑interest mitigations such as crediting back 12b‑1 fees and disclosing cash‑sweep and transition‑credit arrangements with its clearing firm.

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
