About

Compass Ion serves individuals and families, including high‑net‑worth clients, as well as trusts, retirement plan sponsors, colleges, schools, charitable organizations and other entities, providing integrated financial planning, investment advisory services, and retirement plan consulting. The firm manages approximately $1.59 billion across discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts and delivers written financial plans alongside ongoing portfolio management through a team-driven advisory model.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation and long‑term holding periods, employing ETFs, mutual funds, separately managed accounts, third‑party sub‑advisors, and occasional options strategies as appropriate; client portfolios are monitored and reviewed regularly, typically on a quarterly basis. Compass Ion discloses limited, targeted use of digital‑asset-related products when suitable and retains external consulting support (Aptus Capital Advisors) for its Investment Committee’s research and oversight.

Distinctive features in the brochure include that certain management personnel are also registered representatives of an unaffiliated broker‑dealer (Keel Point Capital LLC), and some investment adviser representatives hold CPA credentials or are licensed insurance agents, arrangements the firm acknowledges and addresses through disclosures and internal policies. The firm also describes receipt of institutional services and software from its preferred custodian (Schwab), acceptance of certain forms of custody (including account access and limited bill‑pay/check‑signing authority) subject to annual surprise examinations, and specific disclosure and procedures around rollover recommendations and mutual‑fund share class selection to mitigate related conflicts.

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
