About
James T. Borello & Co. provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, family offices, small businesses, trusts, and other entities, offering retirement, education, insurance, eldercare, tax, and estate planning alongside portfolio management. These services are delivered under an ongoing advisory relationship in which discretionary investment management and financial planning are provided together rather than billed as a separate hourly planning engagement.
The firm builds client portfolios using asset allocation models informed by quantitative and qualitative analysis, third‑party research, and periodic reviews of mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities, and fixed‑income securities. For certain clients JTB may allocate assets to Schwab Personalized Indexing (a direct‑indexing program managed by Charles Schwab Investment Management) and may employ tax‑management techniques such as tax‑loss harvesting as part of its overall advice.
JTB is dually registered as both an investment adviser and a broker‑dealer, and some professionals are registered representatives and licensed insurance agents, which permits commission‑based insurance sales and securities transactions and can present conflicts of interest in rollover or product recommendations. The firm also offers tax preparation by Enrolled Agents and manages over $621 million in client assets with a relatively compact advisory team, while maintaining custodial and program relationships with Schwab that provide operational benefits to the firm.

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.
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
