About
Spurstone serves individuals and high‑net‑worth clients, with a particular emphasis on business owners and corporate executives, offering comprehensive financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, and non‑advisory business owner and exit‑planning consulting. The firm’s services also encompass executive compensation and concentrated stock management, estate and tax coordination, charitable gifting, and educational seminars.
Spurstone typically implements investment mandates on a discretionary basis and uses third‑party managers and models, recommending SEI’s asset allocation portfolios and optional SEI wrap and managed account programs for implementation and quarterly rebalancing. Financial planning is integrated with investment management and coordinated with clients’ other advisors, and the firm employs Certified Exit Planning Advisor practitioners and a structured “Grind To Good Life” process for owner transitions.
Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include an affiliation with a licensed insurance agency (Spurstone Wealth Management, LLC), where certain supervised persons may receive commission‑based compensation for insurance sales, a potential conflict the firm discloses. The firm also notes the use of client testimonials in its advertising—a relatively uncommon practice among peers—and discloses incidental economic benefits from SEI, such as conference or educational support, which it says it monitors and describes in its policies.

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
