About

Hollingsworth Avent Averre & Purvis, P.A. provides discretionary investment management, financial planning and 401(k)/retirement plan consulting for individuals and high-net-worth clients, and also offers accounting and tax (CPA) services. The firm serves a modest client base through a small advisory team that manages roughly $177 million in discretionary assets.

The firm's investment approach is evidence-based and rooted in a market-efficiency philosophy, favoring passive instruments such as index funds and ETFs, broad diversification by geography and market segment, and periodic rebalancing to align portfolios with client risk tolerances and time horizons. When advising on retirement accounts and plan design the firm acts as an ERISA fiduciary and typically coordinates with other pension, administrative and legal professionals.

What is distinctive is that the adviser’s principal business is a CPA practice, with licensed accountants integrated into the advisory process, so tax, accounting and financial planning services are offered together rather than as separate referrals — a structure that is uncommon among peer supported firms. The firm also discloses the potential conflicts that arise from delivering both accounting and investment services, maintains a $500,000 account minimum (with some exceptions), and emphasizes collaboration with clients’ attorneys and accountants on estate and plan-design matters.
