About
Joel Smith & Associates, LLC is a solo independent registered investment adviser that provides financial planning, investment advisory and consulting services to individuals and a range of institutional clients, including charitable organizations, foundations, endowments and municipalities. The firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and implementation options across mutual funds, annuities, ETFs, individual bonds and equities, and certain alternative or illiquid investments.
JSA structures advice around individualized financial plans that set objectives, risk tolerance and asset allocation, and uses both strategic and tactical allocation techniques with long‑ and short‑term purchase strategies and fundamental equity analysis. Accounts are reviewed periodically (quarterly or as contracted) and the firm coordinates implementation with other client advisors and custodians when appropriate.
The firm’s business model includes statutory affiliations and activities that are uncommon among its independent peers: associated persons are registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and act as independent insurance agents, which can generate commission‑based compensation and create potential conflicts of interest that the brochure discloses. JSA also uses the Altruist custodial and model‑marketplace offerings (including an optional Altruist One subscription and support program tied to platform assets) and explicitly accepts charitable and institutional clients—features that distinguish it from many single‑advisor independent firms.

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
