About

Compass Financial Advisors serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) and a range of entities such as trusts, family offices, and qualified retirement plans. Its services include financial planning, asset allocation and portfolio supervision, third‑party manager recommendations, and retirement plan advisory work, as well as plan participant account management via a third‑party platform.

The firm’s investment approach centers on asset allocation and a long‑term buy‑and‑hold orientation while monitoring accounts for tactical adjustments; clients may engage Compass on either discretionary or non‑discretionary terms. Representatives prepare written financial plans and investment policy statements, conduct periodic reviews (typically at least annually), and may recommend custodial and execution services such as Pershing.

Compass’s retirement plan capabilities are a notable aspect of its practice: it provides plan‑level services that include reviewing Investment Policy Statements, evaluating providers and funds, and offering semi‑annual participant education and ERISA‑fiduciary advice for retirement accounts. It also uses a third‑party platform to manage held‑away participant accounts with discretionary rebalancing while avoiding direct custody, a setup that supports its work with plan sponsors, including state and municipal plans.

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
