About

Symphony Financial serves individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities through discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting. The firm also offers multi-family office (MFO) services, third‑party management arrangements and Personal Choice Retirement Account (PCRA) self-directed retirement account management to clients of varying net worth.

The firm says it applies a long-term investment philosophy informed by both fundamental and technical analysis and tailors portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, options and, where appropriate, private placements and independent managers. Symphony provides ERISA 3(21) fiduciary services for retirement plans and coordinates comprehensive MFO engagements that involve outside specialists for tax, legal, banking and concierge-style family services.

What distinguishes Symphony from many peers is the breadth of its multi-family office offering — including bill pay, bookkeeping, private banking coordination, specialty lending and liquidity-event planning — and the firm’s use of outside providers (including a disclosed referral relationship with Fieldpoint Private Bank). Symphony also has substantial operational and custodial ties to LPL Financial (including software, platform support and compensation arrangements such as forgivable loans to some advisors), and it routinely uses multiple custodians and independent managers, a combination that creates potential conflicts the firm discloses and seeks to manage.

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
