About

Stiles Financial Services serves individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations, and corporations with tailored individual financial planning and corporate retirement plan consulting for both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. The firm also offers portfolio management implemented through its own wrap-fee program, and clients may elect to implement financial plans via that program though participation is not required.

The firm’s planning process collects detailed client data (assets, liabilities, income, goals, and risk tolerance) to produce comprehensive plans covering net worth, budgeting, retirement and income replacement strategies, investment allocation, tax‑incentive concepts, and estate planning. Its investment discipline is described as analytical with a qualitative overlay that emphasizes diversification, asset allocation, risk management, and generally long‑term buy‑and‑hold strategies updated as client circumstances change; portfolio management through the wrap program is provided on a discretionary basis.

Compared with many peers, SFSI combines pension‑consultant–style retirement plan services with a wrap‑fee portfolio program and reports notable ERISA responsibilities—approximately $37.4 million managed under ERISA Section 3(38) and about $864.6 million of Section 3(21) assets under advisement—alongside roughly $510.5 million managed in its wrap program. The firm also discloses that some employees hold insurance licenses and may sell commissionable insurance products (with commissions disclosed and excluded from advisory/program fee calculations), a mix of activities that is less common among similar team firms.

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
