About

Compass Financial Management LLC serves individual and high-net-worth clients as well as pension and profit-sharing plans, offering discretionary investment management and retirement-plan consulting alongside non-investment consulting and participant education. The firm manages roughly $894 million across a multi-advisor team and provides ongoing account monitoring and review for client portfolios.

Compass generally allocates assets among individual equities, fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs and employs charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis to implement both long- and short-term strategies. It uses third-party managers when appropriate and also offers a set of internally managed model portfolios (CFM strategies) as part of its investment lineup.

Noteworthy features disclosed in the brochure include that many Compass advisors are licensed to sell insurance products and may receive commissions for those sales, and that the firm distributes its internally managed strategies through the same corporate entity, with separate portfolio-manager fees in addition to the adviser’s management fee—each recognized as a potential conflict of interest. Compass also primarily bills on a percentage-of-assets or hourly basis rather than offering fixed-fee arrangements.

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
