About

Koinonia Financial serves individual investors, including high‑net‑worth clients, and provides advisory services to retirement plan sponsors and 401(k) administrators. The firm delivers discretionary portfolio management through LPL Financial’s Strategic Wealth Management custodial platform and offers retirement plan consulting, with financial planning incorporated into the overall advisory relationship rather than as a separate service.

The firm’s investment process includes a proprietary Koinonia Financial Model — described as a moderate‑growth, contrarian approach that uses a ten‑year performance lookback to select actively managed mutual funds and emphasize diversification and principal preservation rather than index replication. Client suitability is determined by a risk tolerance examination and asset questionnaire, accounts are reviewed and rebalanced regularly, and advisory services are generally provided on a discretionary basis with custody and trade execution handled by LPL.

Koinonia Financial is notable for operating as a solo advisor while managing approximately $101.5 million in assets for 321 clients, a high client‑per‑advisor ratio that is uncommon among similar supported firms. The firm’s reliance on LPL for custody, execution, and platform support (including access to proprietary SWM accounts and related services) and its explicit restriction of the Koinonia model to clients deemed suitable are additional features that differentiate its operating model from many peers.

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.

Find your advisor

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
