About

Flagstone Financial Advisors is a small, supported SEC-registered adviser that works with individual clients (including high-net-worth individuals), as well as trusts, charitable organizations, corporations, and estates. The firm offers discretionary investment management and written financial planning services, managing about $84 million in client assets across roughly 55 client relationships and charging percentage-of-AUM advisory fees billed quarterly.

Flagstone customizes portfolios to client objectives and monitors them on an ongoing basis, employing asset-allocation driven strategies and a mix of fundamental and charting analysis, with both long- and short-term trading used when suitable. The firm recommends Charles Schwab as custodian, prepares quarterly performance reports and written financial plans for clients, and discloses that tax efficiency is not a primary portfolio objective unless agreed in writing.

A noteworthy aspect of Flagstone’s disclosures is its emphasis on documented client communications—written plans, quarterly performance reporting, privacy notices, and a formal trade-error policy—which the brochure highlights alongside standard custodial statements and invoices; producing periodic client communications beyond regulatory statements is relatively uncommon among peers. The brochure also discloses a referral relationship with an accounting practice tied to a family member, a potential conflict the firm acknowledges in its disclosures.

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
