About

NBZ Investment Advisors provides discretionary investment management, financial planning (included for advisory clients), consulting and retirement-plan advisory services to individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts and estates. The firm typically begins client relationships by developing an Investment Policy Statement to guide portfolio construction and ongoing reviews.

NBZ emphasizes asset allocation as its primary strategy, using a Strategic Allocation approach for long‑term holdings and a distinct NBZ Index Plus rotation model that shifts between non‑leveraged and leveraged index funds with defined stop‑loss rules. Portfolios are primarily composed of mutual funds and ETFs, with individual stocks and fixed‑income instruments used when appropriate, and most accounts are managed on a discretionary basis.

The firm is affiliated with the accounting firm Novinger, Ball & Zivi, PC, and several management personnel are practicing CPAs who cross‑refer services between the firms; the brochure discloses instances where the accounting affiliate engages NBZ and where NBZ covers certain accounting charges for clients. NBZ also manages a substantial amount of discretionary assets (approximately $431 million as of December 31, 2025) and employs a leverage‑oriented rotation model that can increase trading frequency and short‑term tax consequences, features that are less common among similarly supported advisers.

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
