Kaizen Financial Advisors, LLC

Kaizen Financial Advisors serves primarily individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as qualified retirement plans and other entities, offering comprehensive wealth and portfolio management, financial planning, tax and estate planning, and retirement plan consulting. Like most supported firms, it operates as a fee‑based fiduciary and typically charges percentage‑of‑assets fees for ongoing discretionary portfolio management while also providing stand‑alone advisory engagements on a time‑and‑materials basis.

The firm emphasizes a long‑term, diversified investment approach grounded in modern portfolio theory, using model portfolios composed largely of ETFs and, when appropriate, mutual funds or individual securities. Kaizen incorporates tax‑aware strategies into portfolio management, including custom direct‑indexing implementations via a third‑party provider and the selective use of exchange funds for clients with highly concentrated appreciated positions, and it routinely uses outside specialist firms to support portfolio construction and financial‑planning deliverables.

Notable differences from many peers include the combination of relatively large assets under management with a small advising team, and the firm’s reliance on institutional partnerships—both for implementation (direct indexing provider and custodian relationships) and for advisory support (external portfolio and planning consultants)—to scale services and offer specialized, less liquid strategies that are not common among similarly sized supported firms.
