About

Compass Advisors is an SEC‑registered advisory firm with roughly $767.5 million in assets under management across about 361 client relationships, serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, businesses and retirement plans. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and retirement‑plan advisory services and also offers implementation through an automated Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios program.

The firm constructs customized, primarily long‑term portfolios built around low‑cost, diversified mutual funds and ETFs while retaining the flexibility to use individual stocks, bonds and options contracts to address tactical, tax or client‑specific needs. Compass Advisors’ Disclosure Brochure indicates it may use derivatives in separately managed accounts and will buy, sell or reallocate positions for rebalancing, tax harvesting or hedging, reflecting a willingness to incorporate more complex instruments alongside strategic asset allocation.

Compared with many peers, the firm notes publicly available third‑party ratings in its materials, a practice that is uncommon among similar team firms. The brochure also discloses that members of the advisory team maintain broker‑dealer and insurance licenses and that at least one senior investment professional operates an unaffiliated advisory business—relationships the firm identifies as potential conflicts of interest alongside its custodial relationship with Schwab.

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
