Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Silver Coast Investments LLC d/b/a PracticeCFO Investments (“PracticeCFO” or the “Advisor”) is a registered
investment advisor located with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a
limited liability company (“LLC”) under the laws of California and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PracticeCFO
LLP, which Wesley W. Read, CFP®, CPA, beneficially owns. PracticeCFO was founded in April 2013 and is
operated by President Wesley W. Read, CFP®, CPA, and Chief Investment Officer and Chief Compliance
Officer Brandon W. Hobson, CFA®, CPA. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the
qualifications, business practices, and advisory services offered by PracticeCFO.
B. Advisory Services Offered
PracticeCFO offers various advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, pension and profit-
sharing plans, charitable organizations, trusts, estates, retirement plans, endowments, and corporate accounts
(each referred to as a “Client”). Advisory services include strategic personal and business financial planning,
investment management, tax and accounting services, and insurance planning.
The Advisor is 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 toward each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. PracticeCFO’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.
Financial Planning Services
PracticeCFO will typically provide financial planning services to individuals, families, and business Clients
under a written Financial Planning Agreement. 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 financial plan or rendering a financial
consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning 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.
Generally, PracticeCFO initiates its services by completing a high-level but comprehensive review of their
personal and business financial conditions and goals. Once complete, the delivered plan provides the context for
the Advisor’s other wealth management services. This process begins by establishing and defining the terms of
the relationship between PracticeCFO and the Client. Once the relationship is defined and agreed upon,
PracticeCFO will collect and assemble relevant financial planning documents and goal information, including
assets, liabilities, income, expenses, insurance policies, estate documentation, and other appropriate
information. PracticeCFO will then analyze the information to offer a written set of recommendations that can
increase the likelihood of achieving their financial goals if implemented by the Client. The Client will have the
option to accept, reject, or modify the information.
The effectiveness of the personal financial plan (the “Plan”) will depend mainly on the amount and accuracy of
information provided to PracticeCFO by the Client. Because the projections used in the Plan and the
accompanying results are calculated over many years, small changes can create significant differences in future
results. Consequently, the Plan will not convey any assurance on those projections' achievability or the
underlying results' reasonableness. In addition, the Plan does not provide any legal advice. Before making
decisions with legal ramifications, Clients should consult appropriate professionals for advice specific to their
situation.
Any investment recommendations developed from the personal financial plan should be implemented by a
licensed investment professional. PracticeCFO does not take any responsibility for the outcome of any specific
investment strategy[ies] recommended by other advisors. If the Client wishes to engage PracticeCFO to
implement the investment recommendations, PracticeCFO may offer to provide such services under a separate
agreement. Financial planning recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the

Item 1 – Cover Page
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 amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations the Advisor makes 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.
Investment Management Services
PracticeCFO provides discretionary investment management services for its Clients. Each engagement
commences with a review of the Client’s investment goals and objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation
to create a portfolio strategy. PracticeCFO will then construct a portfolio primarily of exchanged traded funds
(“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. PracticeCFO may also utilize mutual funds, individual
securities, or other types of securities to meet the needs of its Clients.
PracticeCFO’s investment approach is primarily focused on the long term. Still, the Advisor may buy, sell, or re-
allocate positions held for less than one year to meet the Client's objectives or due to market conditions.
PracticeCFO 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 the
Advisor's acceptance.
We use a hybrid investment management approach that combines passive asset management with tactical asset
allocation. Low-cost, passive exchange-traded funds (ETFs) form the core of our portfolios, and tactical asset
allocation may be used to capitalize on market opportunities.
PracticeCFO follows a four-step process to define and monitor Client investment objectives.
STEP 1: Understanding the Client. To begin, the Advisor always starts by developing a Client-specific financial
profile. This profile consists of:
1. Client’s goals—Generally, this information is obtained through the Advisor’s financial planning service.
If this service is not selected, PracticeCFO will collect baseline information on the money's purpose and
timing.
2. Client’s financial capacity for risk—PracticeCFO collects information on the Client’s financial condition,
which, coupled with their financial goals, helps determine what level of risk is necessary for the Client to
meet their established goals.
3. Client’s emotional capacity for risk—We analyze their emotional and psychological tolerance for market
and portfolio volatility.
This information is gathered through various questionnaires, including one on the Client’s financial goals,
circumstances, and feelings toward investment risk. Throughout this process, PracticeCFO will assess the
client's understanding of financial and investment concepts, such as market returns, different types of
investment products, market volatility, and inflation. This information provides the context for PracticeCFO to
define an appropriate investment objective for the assets the Advisor manages for the Client.
STEP 2: Develop an Investment Policy Statement. Once sufficient information about the Client is gathered to
develop an investment objective, PracticeCFO formalizes a plan to deploy the investments consistent with that
objective. This plan includes:
1. A target allocation between equity, fixed income, and cash. This is the Client’s strategic asset
allocation.
2. A target allocation between asset classes within the investment portfolio's equity and fixed income
3.
portions. This is the Client’s tactical allocation.
Identify the investment managers used within each asset class. Review existing investment holdings,
their embedded taxes, restrictions, and redemption fees.
4. The development of specific steps to manage concentrated positions, illiquid investments, stock options,

and restricted stock.
5. Timing guidelines for moving their investment assets into the market if they are current in cash.
6. The preparation of a cash distribution plan (if the Client is relying on investment assets for
spending needs)
7. The preparation of rebalancing guidelines.
This information, collectively, is assembled into a document, as a matter of best practices, the Investment Policy
Statement (“IPS”). This document and other potential analyses the Advisor provides may include specific
investment projections. These projections are intended strictly for the use of PracticeCFO. PracticeCFO does not
offer any level of assurance of these projections. PracticeCFO believes that markets and investment
performance cannot be predicted in the short run and may not repeat itself in the long run. Although the Advisor
believes capital markets will continue to offer returns over time to capital investors, PracticeCFO expresses no
assurance for their investment assets. In other words, past performance is not a predictor of future performance.
However, PracticeCFO strongly believes that the Advisor’s portfolios are structured to offer Clients a share in
broad market returns according to their exposure to those markets. That level of exposure is Client-specific and
is documented in the IPS.
STEP 3: Execute the Investment Policy Statement. After the IPS is complete, PracticeCFO executes the
policy instructions by selling all securities that are not consistent with the Advisor’s target portfolio and using the
proceeds to purchase those securities that are. The timing of this transition may be phased according to
security restrictions, Client preferences, and tax constraints. Once executed, the Client will be notified and
provided a report illustrating that the investment portfolio is consistent with the target design.
STEP 4: Monitor the Investment Portfolio. PracticeCFO does not attempt to time the market cycles. Please
see Item 8 - Methods of Analysis. Instead, PracticeCFO designs a portfolio that maintains its current strategic
allocation and adjusts for two reasons only:
1. Shift the portfolio back to its target allocation after market changes have altered it.
2. Reconfigure the portfolio to a new strategic allocation motivated by changes to a Client’s
circumstances. Such changes will be documented in an updated IPS.
Monitoring the investment portfolio produces more significant discipline in the PracticeCFO investment
process. It removes many behaviorally motivated investment decisions that often erode long-term investment
returns. However, PracticeCFO will not, at any time, restrict Clients from making the investment decision they
ultimately wish to make. Any decisions made by Clients that are inconsistent with the PracticeCFO
recommendations will be documented and saved in the Advisor’s archives. Suppose the client's decisions are
inconsistent with the goals agreed upon or make it impossible to carry out the investment plan outlined in the
Investment Policy Statement. In that case, PracticeCFO will revisit the advisory relationship.
PracticeCFO Advisory Persons will meet with Clients periodically to review the portfolio holdings and
performance. These meetings may be scheduled annually, semi-annually, or, if necessary, quarterly. If the Client
has also obtained a personal financial plan, from time to time, PracticeCFO will review the investment portfolio in
conjunction with the financial plan. Doing so allows PracticeCFO to compare the portfolio returns to those
projected in the financial plan and assists in the Advisor’s ongoing financial planning reviews and updates.
Lastly, Clients will receive periodic reports, electronically or on paper, on the portfolio holdings, gains, losses,
fees, trading costs, and investment performance. We will also generally coordinate with their tax accountant to
reduce taxes where permitted.
PracticeCFO only evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios after applying its internal
due diligence process. PracticeCFO may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. PracticeCFO may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class
weightings. PracticeCFO 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 Client, generating

cash to meet the Client's needs or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will PracticeCFO 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 their designated account[s] at
the Custodian under the Client investment management agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Insurance Planning Services
PracticeCFO may offer non-variable life insurance placement services for Clients as necessary. This service will
only occur if deemed appropriate based on the Advisor’s review of the Client’s financial circumstances.
Generally, insurance products are only recommended and placed after a financial plan has been completed and
a full review of the Client’s risk of loss has occurred. If placed, a life insurance policy will result in a commission
paid to an Advisory Person in their separate capacity as an insurance agent executing the transaction. Clients
are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor. Please see Item 10 – Other
Financial Industry Affiliations and Activities.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
PracticeCFO provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the
company sponsor (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist
the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is
customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
•
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
•
Investment Due Diligence
•
Investment Management Services (ERISA 3(38))
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
These services are provided by PracticeCFO, serving as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is
provided with a written description of PracticeCFO’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered, and all
direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Before engaging PracticeCFO to provide investment advisory services, each Client must 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:
• Establishing an Investment Policy Statement—PracticeCFO will develop a strategy for the Client, in
consultation with the client, to achieve the Client’s objectives.
• Asset Allocation—PracticeCFO will develop a strategic asset allocation tailored to each client's
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and risk tolerance.
• Portfolio Construction—PracticeCFO will develop a portfolio for the Client intended to meet the client's
stated goals and objectives.
•
Investment Management and Supervision—PracticeCFO will continuously manage and oversee the
Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
PracticeCFO does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services
are provided directly by PracticeCFO.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, PracticeCFO managed $332,054,543 in Client assets on a discretionary basis.
Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.

The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for investment management
services provided by the Advisor. Each Client shall sign one or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of
PracticeCFO and the Client.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, under the terms of the
investment management agreement. Investment management fees are based on the average daily market value of
assets under management during the quarter. Specific legacy Clients may be charged before the quarter under
a separate fee schedule. Investment management fees are calculated on a graduated basis, where the first tier is
charged at one rate while assets managed in higher tiers are charged at a lower rate. Investment management
fees are based on the following schedule:
Assets Under Management

Up to 1.00%

The investment 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. The Client’s fees will
consider the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. PracticeCFO may also offer a lower fee
schedule to institutional accounts. The Custodian will independently value all securities held in accounts
managed by PracticeCFO. PracticeCFO will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, in addition to, any applicable securities transaction and custody fees and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5. C, which the Client may incur. However, the Advisor shall not
receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
PracticeCFO offers financial planning services on a fixed fee basis, ranging from $500 to $5,000, depending on
the services' scope, complexity, and duration. The Client will be provided with an estimate of the costs before
engaging in these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.25%. Fees may be
negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan. Specific existing Clients may have fee schedules

The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of and in addition to brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses that the Client may incur. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees,
and expenses. The hourly fees are determined after considering many factors, such as the level and scope of the
services.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Fees will be calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. At
the Client's request (and acceptance by the Advisor), fees may be invoiced to the Client. The Advisor or its
delegate shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s
account[s] at the respective quarter-end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the average daily balance
(the sum of the daily AUM balance of the billing period divided by the number of days in the billing period)
multiplied by the annual rate and the billing period factor (number of days in the billing quarter divided by the total
number of days in a year (365)) at the end of each quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least
quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the advisory fee. The Client is responsible for verifying
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 PracticeCFO
to be paid directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of the investment management agreement
and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees are invoiced and due upon completion of the agreed-upon deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement, retirement plan advisory fees may be
directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the plan's assets.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur fees or charges imposed by third parties other than PracticeCFO in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all securities and custody fees
the Custodian charges if applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities
transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms and
conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds
and other investments. The fees charged by PracticeCFO are separate and distinct from these custody and
execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to PracticeCFO for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and costs are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees,
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 PracticeCFO,
but would not receive the services provided by PracticeCFO, which are designed, among other things, to assist
the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate to 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 PracticeCFO to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
D. Payment of Fees and Termination

may terminate the investment management agreement with PracticeCFO at any time by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may terminate the contract within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s
investment management agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five days, 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 shall be responsible for costs up to and including the effective termination date. Upon termination, the Advisor
will refund any unearned, prepaid fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s
agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
PracticeCFO is compensated for its financial planning services upon completing the engagement deliverable[s].
Either party may terminate a planning agreement by providing written notice to the other party. The Client may
also terminate the agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s financial planning agreement
at no cost to the Client. After the five days, 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 actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or, in the case of a fixed
fee engagement, the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor at the agreed-upon hourly
rate. The Client’s investment management agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s
prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement with PracticeCFO in whole or part by
providing advance written notice to the other party. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory

plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.

Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
PracticeCFO does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
PracticeCFO are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
PracticeCFO does not manage 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
PracticeCFO offers investment advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, pension and profit-
sharing plans, charitable organizations, trusts, estates, retirement plans, endowments, and corporate accounts.
The amount of each type of Client is available on the Advisor's Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change
over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor. PracticeCFO generally does not impose a minimum
size for establishing a relationship.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
PracticeCFO’s objective is to rely on the body of academic research dating back to the 1950s, which is known
as Modern Portfolio Theory (“MPT”). MPT tries to maximize returns and minimize risk by carefully assembling a
portfolio of assets with differing economic characteristics. Each set of similar assets (an “asset class”) has its
own risk and return profile, where risk is defined as the amount of volatility in the investment, also known as
Standard Deviation. By combining different asset classes whose returns are not correlated, MPT seeks to
reduce the total variance of the portfolio while still providing a competitive weighted average return.
PracticeCFO deploys this investment theory primarily using ETFs. In doing so, it avoids stock picking and timing
and instead relies on capital market growth to generate portfolio returns. Once PracticeCFO is comfortable that a
Client’s portfolio is broadly allocated to capital markets, the Advisor turns to reducing costs and taxes.
PracticeCFO reduces costs by selecting investment options that meet the MPT screening requirements and have
very low fund internal expenses. PracticeCFO also selects funds with very low turnover to minimize trading costs
within the funds.
PracticeCFO seeks to reduce taxes by (1) tracking all fund-embedded taxes and tax ratios and (2) by
advantageously placing investments between taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free accounts where a Client has
such accounts. PracticeCFO then follows a buy-and-hold strategy, making portfolio changes primarily to:
1. Shift the portfolio back to its target allocation after market changes have altered it.
2. Reconfigure the portfolio to a new strategic allocation motivated by changes to a Client’s
circumstances. Such changes will be documented in an updated IPS.
As noted above, PracticeCFO generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its clients consistent with
their financial goals. PracticeCFO will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year but may hold
for shorter periods to rebalance a portfolio or meet clients' cash needs. PracticeCFO may also buy and sell more
short-term positions depending on the client's goals and/or the fundamentals of security, sector, or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be
prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. PracticeCFO will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, Clients are not guaranteed
to meet their investment goals.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria
are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the analyzed entity's overall strength and financial viability.
Assets are deemed suitable if they meet specific criteria to suggest that they are a substantial investment with a
value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor evaluate 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 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 in Item 13.
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
analyzing 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. The Client is responsible for informing the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals, or
other factors that may affect this analysis.

Item 1 – Cover Page
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client before investing in 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 and 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 an ETF is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
ETFs will fluctuate with 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 on market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the cost of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the ETF bought or sold a short time
later.
Mutual Fund Risks
A mutual fund's performance is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of mutual
funds fluctuates with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is
typically set daily, so a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will normally have the same price as a
mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involves 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 PracticeCFO or any of its management
persons. PracticeCFO 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
Advisor and its Advisory Persons are on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or by CRD# 167771.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Mr. Read is also a licensed insurance professional. Implementations of insurance recommendations are separate
from and separate from Mr. Reads’ role as PracticeCFO. As an insurance professional, Mr. Read will receive
customary commissions and related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. Mr.
Read is not required to recommend the products of any insurance company. Commissions generated by
insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in
recommending certain insurance companies' products. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations from the Advisor or Mr. Read.
Accounting Services
Mr. Read, in a separate capacity, is the President of PracticeCFO LLP d/b/a PracticeCFO (“PracticeCFO”), a tax
and accounting firm. Clients of PracticeCFO Investments may be offered tax and accounting services under a
separate agreement with PracticeCFO. Clients are under no obligation to engage Mr. Read or PracticeCFO. Mr.
Read spends approximately half of his time working with Clients on tax and accounting matters. Mr. Read does
not have signatory authority over any Client accounts or accounts serviced in his separate capacity with
PracticeCFO. Clients are advised that PracticeCFO receives additional compensation for accounting and tax.

Item 1 – Cover Page
Services pose a potential conflict of interest. Clients are not obligated to engage Mr. Read or the accounting firm
to obtain investment advisory services from PracticeCFO.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
PracticeCFO 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 PracticeCFO (“Supervised Persons”). The Code
was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the Client.
PracticeCFO and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each Client. It is
the obligation of PracticeCFO associates to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code but also to the
general principles that guide it. The Code covers various topics that address ethics and conflicts of interest. To
request a copy of the Code, please get in touch with the Advisor at (800) 675-2712.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
PracticeCFO allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
them and purchased on behalf of Clients. PracticeCFO 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. PracticeCFO has no
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
PracticeCFO 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 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, which addresses insider trading (material
non-public information controls), gift and entertainment, outside business activities, and personal securities
reporting procedures. Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest when trading for personal accounts if they
are 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 PracticeCFO 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 PracticeCFO 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 afterward. At no time will PracticeCFO or any Supervised Person of PracticeCFO transact in any
security to the detriment of any Client.
Notice for California residents. PracticeCFO has disclosed all material conflicts of interest that could affect the
judgment or ability to provide unbiased advice by the Advisor or its IARs under CCR Section 260.238(k).
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
PracticeCFO 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 PracticeCFO to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed in the investment
management agreement. Further, PracticeCFO does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate
commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where PracticeCFO does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the

www.practicecfo.com
Item 1 – Cover Page
Custodian 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 PracticeCFO. However, the Advisor may be limited in its services if the recommended
Custodian is not engaged. PracticeCFO may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not
limited to, the reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, its
reputation, and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
PracticeCFO will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member of SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified
custodian.” PracticeCFO maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives
economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14 below.
The following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians. An advisor agrees
to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services.
PracticeCFO does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor does receive certain economic benefits from Schwab. Please
see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals—PracticeCFO does not receive compensation from any third party regarding a
recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis,” where PracticeCFO will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts
are 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 account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase
of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). PracticeCFO will not be obligated to
select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available
transaction costs. The Custodian determines these costs.
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, considering such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4)
confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. PracticeCFO will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as directed by the Client.
PracticeCFO may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the
Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts on the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in
full at the same price or time, the securities purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be
allocated in a manner 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 Client’s accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Mr. Hobson, CCO of PracticeCFO, monitors securities in client accounts regularly and continuously. Formal
reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more or less frequently, depending on the client's needs.
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 or less frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed
because of significant changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or

Item 1 – Cover Page
large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify PracticeCFO if
changes in their financial situation might adversely affect their investment plan. Material market, economic, or
political events may trigger additional reviews.
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 periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by PracticeCFO
PracticeCFO may refer Clients to various third parties to provide specific financial services necessary to meet its
Clients' goals. Likewise, PracticeCFO may receive referrals of new Clients from a third-party.
Participation in the Institutional Advisor Platform
PracticeCFO has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like PracticeCFO. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, PracticeCFO 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 their duties to their Clients, the Advisor always
endeavors to put their interest first. Clients should be aware, however, that receiving economic benefits from a
custodian creates a potential 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 includes access to a broad range of investment
products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of the Client’s funds and securities. Through Schwab,
the Advisor may access certain investments and asset classes that the Client could not obtain directly or through
other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in mutual funds and other investments without adhering
to the investment minimums required if the Client were to access the investments directly.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client—Schwab provides participating advisors access to technology,
research, discounts, and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts
and can 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 to PracticeCFO 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 potential conflict of interest. PracticeCFO believes, however, that the
selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Client Referrals from Solicitors
PracticeCFO does not engage paid solicitors for Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Neither PracticeCFO nor the investment adviser representatives will accept or maintain custody of any Client
accounts, except for the authorized deduction of the Advisor’s fees. Investment Adviser Representatives do not
have signatory authority over any Client accounts or accounts serviced in their separate capacity by the

Item 1 – Cover Page
Accounting firm. All Clients must place their assets with a “qualified custodian.” Clients must engage the
Custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct PracticeCFO to utilize the Custodian for the Client’s
security transactions. PracticeCFO encourages Clients to review statements provided by the account custodian.
For more information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another, the Advisor may have
custody of those assets. To avoid additional regulatory requirements in these cases, the Custodian
and the Advisor has adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance
with the Client’s instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
PracticeCFO 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 PracticeCFO. 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 an investment management agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by PracticeCFO will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
PracticeCFO 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 PracticeCFO nor its management has any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of PracticeCFO to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither PracticeCFO nor its Advisory Persons has
been subject to bankruptcy or financial compromise. PracticeCFO is not required to deliver a balance sheet
along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1200 or more for services
to be performed for six months or more in the future.
