About
Dark Horse Advisors, LLC (doing business as Dark Horse Private Wealth) provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and retirement plan consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts and employer plans; the firm reports $181,732,180 in regulatory assets under management and oversees additional assets under advisement, bringing total assets managed and advised to about $367,182,180. Services include tailored portfolio management across equities, fixed income, ETFs and other securities, written or verbal financial plans, and ERISA 3(21)/3(38) plan-level advisory work.
The firm articulates a multi‑method investment approach that combines fundamental, technical, quantitative and macroeconomic analysis and may use both active and passive strategies, third‑party managers, and tax‑aware allocation decisions. Portfolios may include alternatives, structured products and options, are monitored on an ongoing basis, and clients in discretionary accounts may impose reasonable investment restrictions.
Two features distinguish the firm from many peers: it is affiliated with Dark Horse CPAs through common ownership (Dark Horse CPAs owns 50% of the adviser), creating referral and revenue‑sharing relationships and the potential for clients to receive accounting or tax services from affiliated professionals; and the firm discloses offering ongoing financial planning on a subscription basis billed monthly in advance, an arrangement that is relatively uncommon among similar team advisers. The brochure also notes that some associated persons engage in brokerage and insurance activities, which the firm discloses as additional conflicts to be managed.

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.
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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
