Round Rock Advisors

Round Rock Advisors

Round Rock Advisors was founded in 2017 by partners Bert T. Bowler and Craig Jensen, establishing an independent registered investment advisor in Wilton, Connecticut. The firm emerged with a multi-disciplinary model, placing CFP practitioners and a CPA on-staff to address both asset management and the generational transfer of wealth. Its client base spans high-net-worth individuals, families, and corporate advisory engagements. The practice spans investment management, retirement planning, estate strategies, tax planning, and corporate advisory. Round Rock operates without a disclosed proprietary fund family, positioning itself as an open-architecture allocator. The client-facing team includes CFP designees John Planell and Carol J. Burton, CPA/PFS holder Robert Weinstein, and CFA charterholder Lynda Kommel-Browne, who also holds CDFA and ChSNC certifications — signaling that divorce financial analysis and special-needs planning are part of the firm’s in-house capability. Corporate advisory extends to business valuation, private-company transaction advisory, and succession planning. The firm lists 13 professionals on its website including Head of Trading Tich Duong Huynh and Portfolio Manager Scott L. Dynan. Round Rock operates from a single office at 187 Danbury Road in Wilton. The firm publicly promotes wealth advisor and asset manager recruitment paths, indicating an intention to scale the partnership model. In April 2025, it published a blog post titled “The Journey to a Rewarding Career as a Private Wealth Advisor,” consistent with that growth posture. Round Rock’s architecture places a CFP, a CPA, and a CFA charterholder inside one advisory firm, which is uncommon at its disclosed size. This concentration of professional designations supports planning-heavy households — particularly those navigating business exits, divorce, or special-needs trusts — without outsourcing the technical analysis to an external consultant network.
