About

Foundation Wealth & Tax Advisors, LLC is a registered investment adviser that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth), corporations and retirement plans. The firm also offers retirement plan (pension) consulting and participant account management services, and provides a service to help clients diversify externally held digital assets.

The firm constructs an investment policy statement for each client and uses a mix of analytical approaches (fundamental, quantitative, technical, cyclical and modern portfolio theory) and model allocations, and it may refer clients to or use third‑party managers and platforms for implementation. Foundation Wealth typically seeks discretionary trading authority, monitors portfolios on a regular basis, and uses third‑party platforms to manage held‑away retirement participant accounts and to facilitate digital‑asset services.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is that several principals maintain outside law and accounting business interests and the adviser discloses those affiliations and potential conflicts, while operating from multiple offices rather than a single location. The firm also combines traditional investment management with plan‑level pension consulting, accepts hourly billing for planning work, and has added digital‑asset custody arrangements and third‑party platform integrations as part of its service set.
