About
Sterling Advisory Services, LLC provides investment advisory and portfolio management services to individual clients and reports managing about $6.2 million in client assets. The firm serves a very small client base (two clients) and uses the common percentage-of-AUM fee arrangements used by many independent advisors.
The advisor has operated the firm since 2013 and delivers individualized portfolio management and client service as the sole registered representative. The principal’s concurrent role as Operational Manager of the tax department at an affiliated accounting firm is described in the brochure and allows for coordination between investment recommendations and tax or accounting considerations.
What distinguishes the firm from most peers is its affiliation with an accounting practice (Koehler & Associates), a configuration reported by only a small minority of independent RIAs, and the principal’s membership in a separate real estate entity (Sterling K. Properties, LLC). The brochure also discloses no disciplinary history.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
