About
Deep Blue Financial LLC serves individuals, families, and related entities (including trusts, IRAs, UTMAs, and small business accounts) and also advises certain high-net-worth or accredited clients. The firm offers portfolio management, retirement income planning, and investment consulting across both discretionary and non-discretionary account arrangements.
DBF emphasizes diversified, ETF-based index portfolios designed for tax efficiency and periodically reviews accounts for rebalancing and tax opportunities, including loss-harvesting strategies. It may add individual equities for clients seeking customization and, for accredited investors, recommends access to select private or alternative investments through platform providers such as Fidelity’s alternative investment programs or iCapital.
Notably, a substantial portion of the firm’s assets are managed non-discretionarily, so clients commonly retain final trading authority rather than delegating full discretion—a practice that is uncommon among peers. As a solo advisory practice managing roughly $55 million for about 95 clients, DBF uses Fidelity as its primary custodian, does not take custody of client assets, and leaves proxy voting rights with clients.

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
