What We Use in Our Methodology

To find the top financial advisors in Phoenix, we first identified all firms registered with the SEC in the city. Next, we filtered out firms that don't offer financial planning services, those that don't serve primarily individual clients and those that have disclosures on their record. The qualifying firms were then ranked according to the following criteria:

  • AUM
    Firms with more total assets under management are ranked higher.
  • Individual Client Count
    Firms who serve more individual clients (as opposed to institutional clients) are ranked higher.
  • Clients Per Advisor
    Firms with a lower ratio of clients per financial advisor are ranked higher.
  • Age of Firm
    Firms that have been in business longer are ranked higher.
  • Fee Structure
    Firms with a fee-only (as opposed to fee-based) compensation structure are ranked higher.

All information is obtained through public records and is updated annually after the firms’ form ADV filing. This list may include firms that have a business relationship with SmartAsset, in which SmartAsset is compensated for lead referrals. Such relationships have no impact on our rankings, and firms are included and ranked based strictly on the above criteria. SmartAsset is not a client of the aforementioned firms, and did not receive compensation for including any of the firms on the aforementioned list.

TFO Family Office Partners

TFO Family Office Partners is the largest firm on this list, but it does not require a traditional minimum account size. Instead, it sets a minimum annual fee that ranges from $20,000 to $50,000, which could be a barrier for some clients. The firm may waive this fee in certain cases, depending on the relationship and scope of services.

The firm says that it can provide investment management services to a range of clients, including individuals (both high-net-worth and non-high-net-worth), retirement plans, trusts, businesses, and charitable organizations.

The advisory team at TFO is made up of professionals that hold certifications as certified public accountants (CPAs), certified financial planners™ (CFPs®) and chartered financial analysts (CFAs), among other designations.

Like other firms, TFO says that it works with clients to set investment goals and risk levels, then builds and tracks a portfolio based on those needs.

Client portfolios typically include no-load mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and separately managed accounts of individual stocks or bonds. In some cases, clients may retain certain individual securities for tax or personal reasons, which are noted as non-managed assets.

TFO follows a diversified investment approach. According to its Form ADV, the firm views diversification as a key strategy to manage risk. Rather than trying to pick individual stocks, it spreads investments across different assets and sectors to help protect clients from market volatility.

Brookwood Investment Group

Brookwood Investment Group provides fee-based financial advisory services to a wide range of clients, including high-net-worth and non-high-net-worth individuals, businesses and charities.

As a fee-based firm, there is some potential for a conflict of interest as the firm and its advisors may earn commissions from the sale of certain securities. However, both the firm and its advisors are bound to a fiduciary duty to put the needs of each client first.

The firm uses a variety of investment strategies including passive, active, tactical and blended approaches to manage client portfolios.

Their investment selections range from conservative options like cash, government and high-grade corporate bonds to more aggressive choices such as index funds, passively managed asset class funds, stocks and sector-specific investments like energy or housing stocks.

Additionally, the firm engages in more complex strategies involving leveraged securities, higher-risk securities, options, derivatives and short positions.

Versant Capital Management

Versant Capital Management is a fee-only firm that has one of the highest account minimums on this list ($4 million). However, the firm may be willing to waive or reduce this requirement under certain circumstances.

The firm boasts an impressive array of expertise, as it employs advisors with certifications like Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®), chartered financial analyst (CFA) and more. Generally speaking, these advisors work with individuals both with and without a high net worth, retirement plans, charities and businesses.

Versant Capital Management’s investment model aims to reduce turnover, taxes, fees, proprietary products and unnecessary changes in asset allocation. The firm bases investment decisions on each client’s financial goals and risk tolerance, measuring success by progress toward those objectives.

Versant primarily invests its clients’ assets in equity securities, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, investment company securities, stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds. The firm emphasizes the importance of a broad diversification of asset classes and investing over the long term, to allow investments to grow over time.

Windsor Capital Management

Windsor Capital Management is a fee-only firm that specializes in equity, fixed-income and balanced portfolio management. The firm works with both high-net-worth and non-high-net-worth individual clients, as well as businesses, retirement plans and charitable organizations.

Account minimums at the firm depend on the style of portfolio management. For fixed-income accounts, the minimum is $200,000. For balanced accounts, it’s $400,000.

Windsor Capital Management offers traditional portfolio management services, web-based portfolio management services, advisory consulting services and advisory services to retirement plans. These services are offered on an individual basis or clients can opt for all of the above. Though the firm’s website is pretty bare-bones, it does have a blog that’s updated at least once a month that anyone can subscribe to. The firm also has its monthly newsletters posted online. 

The firm takes clients’ risk tolerances, time horizons and goals into consideration for its portfolio management services. However, the firm invests clients according to one or more of its model portfolios, which are designed for varying degrees of risk tolerance. Clients are not able to set restrictions on particular holdings, allocations or types of securities purchased.

Windsor Capital Management primarily recommends individual fixed-income and equity securities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and closed-end mutual funds. Notably, tax efficiency is not a top priority for the firm when it’s investing its clients' assets. The firm advises that its clients consult a tax professional regarding the investment of their assets.

Strategy Financial Group

Strategy Financial Group is a fee-based advisory firm that offers financial consulting services and investment management. Clients include both high-net-worth and non-high-net-worth individuals. The firm's brochure also says that it works with pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and corporations

As a fee-based firm, there is a potential conflict of interest as the firm and its advisors may earn a commission for the sale of certain securities. However, both are bound to a fiduciary duty which means that the needs of the client must come first.

Strategy Financial says that it builds diversified portfolios to help clients earn long-term returns while reducing risk.

The firm picks third-party managers based on their strategy, track record, fees and how well they manage risk. It may move money into cash or low-risk investments when needed. Diversifying investments helps manage risk, but it doesn’t guarantee gains or prevent losses.

Eaton-Cambridge

Easton-Cambridge is a fee-based advisory firm that works with individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities.

The firm offers a range of advisory services that include investment management, selection of third-party money managers and platforms, financial planning, tax services, retirement plan advisory and estate planning.

Eaton-Cambridge provides services to high-net-worth individuals, other individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and businesses. While the firm generally requires a household to have at least $500,000 in assets, this minimum may be waived. However, if a client’s account is below $350,000, a minimum annual fee of $5,000 applies, billed at $1,250 per quarter.

The firm's investment philosophy is based on the academic findings of Markowitz, Fama, and French. It's heavily based on Modern Portfolio Theory and the Efficient Market Hypothesis. The firm develops portfolios based on a long-term asset allocation strategy that is consistent with the client's investment objective and risk tolerance.

Tandem Wealth Advisors

Tandem Wealth Advisors is a fee-only firm that serves both high-net-worth and non-high-net-worth individuals, pooled investment vehicles and retirement plans.

Tandem also charges a fixed fee for financial planning, which may be waived for clients who also use its investment advisory services. Fees are billed in advance based on a written agreement and usually do not exceed $10,000. There is no minimum fee.

The firm uses different strategies to manage client portfolios, including value, growth and GARP (growth at a reasonable price) investing.

For risk management, the firm includes high-quality investment-grade bonds, aiming to reduce downside risk while pursuing long-term growth.

WCG does not impose a minimum account size for individual clients. However, the firm generally asks for at least $50,000 for those receiving both asset management and full financial planning. It may accept smaller accounts at its discretion.

The firm says that it uses research from Morningstar, Ned Davis Research, and Charles Schwab & Co. to assess mutual funds and separate account managers.

WCG builds portfolios based on a client’s risk tolerance and goals, using strategic asset mixes that are adjusted over time. It takes a flexible approach, not favoring company size, investment style, or country, and makes allocation changes based on market conditions, valuations, and trends.

Rank City Housing Expenses Food Expenses Healthcare Expenses Utilities Expenses Transportation Expenses

Methodology We analyzed data on average expenditures for seniors, cost of living and investment returns to determine how many years of retirement a $1 million nest egg would cover in cities across America.

First, we looked at data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on the average annual expenditures of seniors. We then applied cost of living data from the Council for Community and Economic Research to adjust those national average spending levels based on the costs of each expense category (housing, food, healthcare, utilities, transportation and other) in each city. Using this data, SmartAsset calculated the average cost of living for retirees in the largest U.S. cities.

We assumed the $1 million would grow at a real return (interest minus inflation) of 2%. Then, we divided $1 million by the sum of each of those annual numbers to determine how long $1 million would cover retirement expenses in each of the cities in our study. Cities where $1 million lasted the longest ranked the highest in the study.
