About

Elios Financial Group, Inc. provides financial planning, wealth management, investment management, and referrals to third‑party money managers for individuals, families, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and businesses. The SEC‑registered firm manages roughly $331.5 million in client assets and offers both one‑time planning engagements and ongoing portfolio management, including a firm‑sponsored wrap fee program.

The firm builds client portfolios using asset allocation, fundamental and technical analysis, and principles of modern portfolio theory, employing instruments such as individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds, ETFs (including crypto‑currency ETFs) and select private and public securities; accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and can be managed on either a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis. Elios also provides management of “held‑away” retirement accounts using technology to implement tax‑efficient asset location and opportunistic rebalancing, and may engage third‑party money managers after due diligence.

What distinguishes Elios from many peers is its combination of advisory and brokerage/insurance activities: owners and associates are registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and may accept commissions or trail compensation for sales of securities, and they may be licensed insurance agents appointed with insurance companies—relationships the brochure discloses and addresses as potential conflicts. The firm also receives portions of fees when recommending third‑party advisers or acting under solicitor arrangements, and it documents procedures (fiduciary acknowledgements, disclosures, and code of ethics) intended to mitigate those 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
