Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Beacon Financial Planning, Inc. (“Beacon” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Corporation under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Beacon was founded in March 2015. In March 2021, the firm changed its
name to Beacon Financial Planning, Inc. Beacon is owned and operated by Michaela Herlihy (President and
Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business
practices, and the advisory services provided by Beacon.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Beacon offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
charitable organizations (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. Beacon’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more
information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
Beacon provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related
financial planning services. Beacon works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Beacon will then
construct an investment portfolio, primarily consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds to achieve the Client’s
investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) individual stocks, bonds or
options contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain certain types of investments based on
a Client’s legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations, or other reasons as identified
between the Advisor and the Client .
Beacon will select, recommend and/or retain mutual funds on a fund by fund basis. Due to specific custodial
and/or mutual fund company constraints, material tax consideration, and/or systematic investment plans, Beacon
will select, recommend and/or retain a mutual fund share class that does not have trading costs, but do have
higher internal expense ratios than institutional share class. Beacon will seek to select the lowest cost share
class available that is in the best interest of each Client and will ensure the selection aligns with the Client’s
financial objectives and stated investment guidelines.
Beacon’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Beacon will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance
by the Advisor.
Beacon evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Beacon may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Beacon may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor
may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Beacon may
recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses,
business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the
position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any
risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

At no time will Beacon accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority
as outlined in Item 15 - Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Accounts – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will recommend that a Client
take a distribution from an ERISA sponsored plan or to roll over the assets to an Individual Retirement Accounts
(“IRAs”), or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one
IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g., commission-based account to fee-
based account). In such instances, the Advisor will serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if
the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under
any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
Beacon typically provides a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients as part of
their overall wealth management engagement. Financial planning is also offered as a stand-alone service.
Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives.
Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific
financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning,
personal savings, education savings, insurance needs and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Beacon may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may
not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract
date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor
for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations
made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through
the Advisor.
Educational Seminars, Workshops
Beacon may provide educational seminars or workshops for groups seeking general advice on investing
and other areas of personal finance. The content of these seminars will vary depending upon the needs of the
attendees. The Advisor’s seminars and workshops are educational in nature and do not involve the sale of
investment products. Information presented will not be based on any one person’s need, nor does the Advisor
provide individualized investment advice to attendees during our general sessions. These seminars and
workshops are offered at no charge.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Beacon to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:

provided directly by Beacon.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024 Beacon manages $388,356,515 on a discretionary basis. Clients may request more
current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
wealth management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the average daily balance of assets under
management each calendar quarter. Wealth management fees are based on the following schedule:
Assets Under Management ($)
Up to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 to $3,000,000
$3,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000,001 to $7,000,000
$7,000,001 to $10,000,000
$10,000,000 and above
Annual Rate (%)
1.00%
0.90%
0.80%
0.70%
0.60%
0.40%
Client accounts below $500,000 are subject to a flat fee of $5,000. The wealth management fee in the first quarter
of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be
negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Certain legacy clients may be billed under a different fee schedule.
The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All
securities held in accounts managed by Beacon will be independently valued by the Custodian. Beacon will
conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees and other
related costs and expense described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client.
Financial Planning Services
Beacon offers on-going financial planning services for an annual fee of $5,000, billed at the end of each calendar
quarter. For Clients who enter into a Wealth Management agreement with Beacon, within one year of receiving the

Page 6
Advisor’s financial planning services, this fee will be credited towards the Client’s wealth management fees if the
client selects to hire Beacon for wealth management Services.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at
the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted
from the Client’s account[s] at the end of the respective quarter date. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (number of days in the quarter divided by 365) to the total assets under management with Beacon at
the end of the quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting
deduction of the wealth management fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as
listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide
written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Beacon to be paid directly from their account[s]
held by the Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms provided by the
Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
On-going financial planning fees are invoiced by the Advisor and billed at the end of each calendar quarter. At no
point will the Advisor collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for any services that will be completed six (6)
months or more in advance.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Beacon, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian if applicable. The fees charged by Beacon are separate and distinct
from these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Beacon for wealth management services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described
in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the
funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Beacon,
but would not receive the services provided by Beacon which are designed, among other things, to assist the
Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and
objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by
Beacon to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional
information.
Additionally, as noted above, the Advisor will select share classes which do not have trading costs, but do have
higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for
additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
Beacon may be compensated for its services at the end of the quarter after wealth management services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur
charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable
by the Client. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the
Client’s prior consent.

Financial Planning Services
Beacon may require an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning
agreement by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial
planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After
the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination
and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for the percentage
of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is
non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Beacon does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Beacon does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Beacon are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
Beacon does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or
a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Beacon offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
charitable organizations. The amount of each type of Client is available on Beacon’s Form ADV Part 1A. These
amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor.
Beacon generally requires a minimum relationship size of $1,000,000 to effectively implement its investment
process for new clients. The minimum can be waived at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Client accounts below
$500,000 are subject to a flat fee of $5,000.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Beacon primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Beacon are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies,
third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports,
prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity
being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong
investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a
potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the
investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment
performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations
are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of
Accounts.
Additionally, Beacon uses Modern Portfolio Theory and asset allocation. Modern Portfolio Theory is a theory of
investing which attempts to maximize a portfolio’s expected return based on a given amount of portfolio risk by
carefully choosing the appropriate amount of various assets.

Page 8
As noted above, Beacon generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. Beacon will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold for
shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, Beacon
may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or
the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Beacon will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that
the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis
may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic
indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s
review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals
or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later.
Bond ETFs
Bond ETFs are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e., the risk that bond
prices will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity,
and the coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a
lower rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation
increase at a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit
default risk, i.e. the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the
company defaulting on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating
agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to
repay its debt and (6) Liquidity Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily
available market for the bond.

Page 9
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the
same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Margin Borrowings
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if
securities pledged to brokers to secure a Client's margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to
a "margin call", pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of
mandatory liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
Concentrated Portfolios
Concentrated portfolios are an aggressive and highly volatile approach to trading and investing and should be
viewed as complementary to a stable, highly predictable investment approach. Concentrated portfolios hold
fewer different stocks than a diversified portfolio and are much more likely to experience sudden dramatic price
swings. In addition, the rise or drop in price of any given holding in the portfolio is likely to have a larger impact
on portfolio performance, than a more broadly diversified portfolio.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Beacon or its owner. Beacon values the
trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any
advisor or service provider that the Client Engages. The backgrounds of the Advisory and its Advisory Persons
are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with
the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 175372.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The sole business of Beacon and it’s Advisory Persons is to provide investment advisory services to its Clients.
Neither Beacon nor its Advisory Persons are involved in other business endeavors. Beacon does not maintain
any affiliations with other firms, other than contracted service providers to assist with the servicing of its Client’s
accounts.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Beacon has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each
Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Beacon (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisors duties to the
Client. Beacon and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It
is the obligation of Beacon’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but
also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee
ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (508) 790-7039 or
via email at michaela@bfpcc.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Beacon allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Beacon does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor
does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Beacon does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.

C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Beacon allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities.
The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by Beacon requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the
Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to
detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Beacon allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards.
At no time will Beacon, or any Supervised Person of Beacon, transact in any security to the detriment of
any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Beacon does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets
and authorize Beacon to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, Beacon does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
Where Beacon does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian[s] to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian
recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a Custodian not
recommended by Beacon. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. Beacon may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but
not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and
its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
Beacon will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified
Custodian”. Beacon maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic
benefits from Schwab (Please see Item 14 below.)
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Beacon does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the ustodian. Please see
Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Beacon does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the
recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Beacon will place trades
within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are

Phone: (508) 790-7039 * Fax: 617-334-7967
https://www.beaconfinancialplanning.com/
Page 11
traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of
any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase
of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Beacon will not be obligated to select
competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available
transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Beacon will execute its transactions through
the Custodian as authorized by the Client.
Beacon may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the
Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full
at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be
allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be
done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Michaela Herlihy Chief
Compliance Officer of Beacon. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently
depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a
result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Beacon if changes occur in
the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional
reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Beacon
Product vendors recommended by Beacon provide monetary and non-monetary assistance with client events and
provide educational tools and resources. Investment decisions are not influenced by this support.
The receipt of products or services is a benefit for us and presents a conflict of interest. Beacon mitigates this
conflict of interest by notifying you of the conflict and informing you that you are free to consult other financial
professionals. We also mitigate this conflict by not selecting products as a result of any monetary or non-monetary
assistance.
Beacon may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, estate
planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Beacon may
receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.

Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Beacon has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Beacon. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Beacon receives access to software and related
support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain
assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all
services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all
times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic
benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be
able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds
and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were
to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to
technology, research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for
Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its
relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for
its Clients, but may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to Beacon
that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support,
consulting services and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial
incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a conflict of interest. Beacon believes, however,
that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Client Referrals from Promoters
Beacon does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any affiliated or unaffiliated parties (“Promoters”) for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Beacon does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined
below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Beacon exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a
"qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and
securities and must instruct Beacon to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are
encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by Beacon to
ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Beacon to move funds between their
accounts, Beacon and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money movement activities
are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.

Page 13
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Beacon generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed
to by Beacon. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of
such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of wealth management agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Beacon will be in accordance with each
Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Beacon does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly
from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains
the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Beacon, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Beacon to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Beacon, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been
subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Beacon is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this
Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed
six months or more in the future.

Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP® Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high

subject areas that CFP® Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally

financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances;

equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP® Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents

Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in

hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of
their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP®
Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®
certification.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (“CFP®”)
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP® (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by Certified
Financial Planner™ Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP® Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 71,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that CFP® Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP® Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP® Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in
order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of
their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP®
Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®
