About

Old North State Wealth Management provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) as well as pension plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and other business entities, charging customary percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees. The firm also offers standalone and hourly financial planning and may recommend or place clients with third‑party advisers and wrapped or non‑wrapped programs.

The firm builds customized asset allocations using equity securities, ETFs, mutual funds and fixed income and may employ both long‑ and short‑term strategies, including covered options and other derivatives in separately managed accounts; portfolios are monitored daily with formal reviews at least quarterly. Old North also discloses use of borrowing strategies—such as margin and securities‑backed lines of credit—and describes how those facilities are coordinated with clients and custodians.

Several aspects of Old North are atypical for a team firm: it is affiliated with an accounting practice (Knott, Richartz & Co. CPAs, PLLC) and its advisers are dually registered with a broker‑dealer and licensed to sell insurance, so commission‑based sales and insurance commissions may be earned in addition to advisory fees. The brochure discloses these potential conflicts and the firm’s monitoring practices, and it explicitly addresses fee treatment of cash and margin, its assistance in arranging SBLOCs (without charging a placement fee), and the use of a broader set of complex products than 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
