About

Elderado Financial is a SEC-registered advisory firm that provides customized financial planning and discretionary investment management for individuals, high‑net‑worth families, trusts, foundations, and charitable organizations. Like many team firms, it offers portfolio management alongside planning services tailored to client objectives.

The firm develops comprehensive or modular financial plans based on client‑provided documents and risk tolerance, then implements those plans through discretionary asset management using third‑party custodians and common research tools (for example, Y‑Charts and Schwab platforms). Client accounts are monitored with regular reviews, quarterly portfolio assessments, periodic communications, and monthly custodial statements.

Compared with typical peers, Elderado supplements its advisory work with client periodicals and newsletters and with public-facing educational programs and workshops — staff participate as facilitators in programs such as Financial Peace University and in philanthropy-focused forums. The firm operates as a small, multi‑adviser team managing roughly $237 million in client assets, and it does not impose a minimum account balance to open or maintain an investment management account.
