About

Girard Advisory Services, LLC is a fee‑only registered investment adviser that provides wealth management, portfolio management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting, and related services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities. The firm serves both individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households) and plan sponsors and participants, offering discretionary and non‑discretionary management, ongoing planning, and participant‑level advice.

Girard emphasizes asset allocation, diversification, and tailoring portfolios to client objectives through a proprietary research process and an Investment Committee that maintains an approved list of roughly 100 large‑cap stocks; investment implementation uses domestic and international equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs, and model allocations. The firm also allocates client assets to unaffiliated Independent Advisors when appropriate and deploys strategy‑specific approaches — including tax‑managed direct indexing and long/short strategies (Aperio) and options overlay strategies (SpiderRock) — with ongoing oversight and client suitability reviews.

What is distinctive about Girard relative to many multi‑team peers is its corporate structure and affiliated relationships: the firm is a wholly owned subsidiary of Univest Bank and Trust Co. (part of publicly traded Univest Financial Corporation) and discloses affiliated entities such as Girard Investment Services (a FINRA member broker‑dealer) and Univest Insurance, which inform the firm’s ability to recommend banking, trust, brokerage, and insurance services. The brochure further highlights the firm’s breadth of retirement plan services, use of Independent Advisors for specialized strategies, and the attendant disclosure and monitoring processes for fees and conflicts — features that are less common among similarly sized multi‑team advisers.

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.
