It discloses information about the services that we provide and the way those services are made available to you, the client. We are an investment management firm located in Colorado. We specialize in investment advisory services for individuals, high-net-worth individuals, small business owners, pensions, trusts and retirement plans. The firm was established by Brian Colvert in 2017. We are committed to helping clients build, manage, and preserve their wealth, and to provide assistance that helps clients to achieve their stated financial goals. We will offer an initial complimentary meeting upon our discretion; however, investment advisory services are initiated only after you and Bonfire Financial execute an engagement letter or client agreement. Investment and Wealth Management and Supervision Services We offer discretionary investment management and investment supervisory services for a fee based on a percentage of your assets under management or on a dollar flat fee. These services include investment analysis, allocation of investments, quarterly portfolio reports, financial commentaries, and ongoing monitoring of client portfolios. We primarily allocate client assets among various mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), alternative investments, structured notes, interval funds, cash, and in some cases individual debt (bonds) and equity (stock) securities in accordance with their stated investment objectives. Clients have the ability to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments that may be purchased in an account, however our Firm retains the right to decline to enter into a management agreement with any clients whose investment are contrary to the firm’s investment strategies. (Please see Item 16, Investment Discretion for additional information concerning discretionary authority.) We will work with you to obtain necessary information regarding your financial condition, investment objectives, liquidity requirements, risk tolerance, time horizons, and any restrictions on investing. This information enables us to determine the portfolio or model best suited for your investment objective and needs. In performing our services, we shall not be required to verify any information received from you or from other professionals. If you request, we will recommend you engage the services of other professionals for implementation purposes. You have the right to decide whether or not to engage the services of any such recommended professional. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 4 Once we have determined the types of investments to be included in your portfolio and allocated them, we will provide ongoing portfolio review and management services. This approach requires us to review your portfolio at least quarterly. We will rebalance the portfolio, as we deem appropriate, to meet your financial objectives. We trade these portfolios and rebalance them based on the combination of our market views and your objectives, using our investment process. We tailor our advisory services to meet the needs of our clients and seek to ensure that your portfolio is managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives. You will have the ability to leave standing instructions with us to refrain from investing in particular industries or invest in limited amounts of securities. In all cases, you have a direct and beneficial interest in your securities, rather than an undivided interest in a pool of securities. We do have limited authority to direct the Custodian to deduct our investment advisory fees from your accounts, but only with the appropriate written authorization from you. Where appropriate, we provide advice about any type of legacy position or other investment held in client portfolios. Clients will engage us to advise on certain investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance and annuity contracts and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). You are advised and are expected to understand that our past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Certain market and economic risks may exist that adversely affect an account’s performance. This could result in capital losses in your account. Held Away Discretionary Accounts Relationship with Pontera Through our relationship with Pontera, our firm provides an additional service for accounts not directly held with our recommended Custodian but where our firm does have discretion and leverages an Order Management System to implement asset allocation or rebalancing strategies on behalf of the client. These are primarily 401(k) accounts, 529 plans, variable annuities, and other assets not held with the recommended Custodian. Our firm’s representatives regularly reviews the current holdings and available investment options in these accounts, monitors the account, rebalances and implements our strategies as necessary. The Firm is engaged with Pontera, an unaffiliated entity, to offer this service to our clients. Where appropriate, our Firm may utilize interval funds in client portfolios. An interval fund is a non-traditional type of closed-end mutual fund that periodically offers to buy back a percentage of outstanding shares from shareholders. Certain Traded Interval Funds can be Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 5 purchased by Bonfire directly with the Client’s custodian without any prior authorization from the client. In these cases, Bonfire will purchase these interval funds on a discretionary basis only when it deems the investments to be suitable for the client. In other cases, certain Non-Traded Interval Funds required the client to execute fund documents in order to invest. In these situations, Bonfire will not be able to purchase the Non-Traded Interval Funds on a discretionary basis. Both Traded and Non-Traded Interval Funds are subject to all of the risks and limitations outlined in Item 8 below. Where appropriate, our Firm may utilize Structured Notes in client portfolios. Structured Notes are designed to facilitate highly customized risk-return objectives. While structured products come in many different forms, they typically consist of a debt security that is structured to make no interest payments but a principal payment based upon various assets, rates, or formulas. Structured Notes can be purchased by Bonfire directly with the Client’s custodian without any prior authorization from the client. Bonfire will purchase Structured Notes on a discretionary basis only when it deems the investments to be suitable for the client and will do so without notifying the client in advance of the specific terms and conditions of each note. See additional disclosures in Item 8 below. In certain cases, our Firm can recommend that a portion of the client’s assets be invested in certain private investment funds, also known as private placements. Such funds are described as hedge funds, real estate funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds, and other types of private pooled investment vehicles (collectively “Private Funds”). Depending on the type of fund, the Private Funds will invest in various types of investments, many of which are not exchange traded. When determining which clients should receive a recommendation to invest in a Private Fund, our Firm considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the client’s investment sophistication, risk tolerances and qualifications, investment objectives, liquidity needs, and the amount of available assets in the client's account(s). Our goal is to allocate in a fair and balanced manner; however, given these differing factors, the allocation of investment opportunities in Private Funds to our clients is mainly subjective, and not all qualifying clients will be provided a particular private investment opportunity. For those clients that receive a recommendation to invest in Private Funds, it is important to read each offering document (e.g., private placement memorandum) prior to investing to fully understand the risks and potential conflicts of interest pertaining to the Private Fund investment. (Please refer to Item 12 for further information on the allocation of Private Fund investments). Notably, some of the Private Funds, mutual funds and ETFs selected by our Firm will employ alternative or riskier strategies (e.g., the use of leverage or derivatives). Leverage is the use of debt to finance an activity. A private fund facilitating the purchase of a company using a line of credit or a hedge fund using proceeds from shorting to make more investments Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 6 are examples of leverage. Derivatives can, in certain instances, be riskier than other types of investments because they can be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments. In certain situations, derivatives can result in losses that exceed the original investment. The use of derivatives, leverage, or other alternative strategies may not be successful, resulting in investment losses, and the cost of such strategies can reduce investment returns. Hedging, on the other hand, occurs when an investment is made in order to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in a security. For example, an investor could hedge a long position by shorting the same or similar security. Please review these, and other, considerations carefully prior to investing. Please also refer to Item 8 for detailed information regarding the Firm’s methods of analysis and the risks surrounding such investments. Financial Planning Through our Financial Planning process, we strive to engage our clients in conversations around the family’s goals, objectives, priorities, vision, and legacy – both for the near term as well as for future generations. With the unique goals and circumstances of each family in mind, we offer financial planning ideas and strategies to address the client’s holistic financial picture, including estate, income tax, charitable, cash flow, wealth transfer and family legacy objectives. Our team partners with our client’s other advisors (CPA, Estate Attorney, Insurance broker, etc.) to ensure a coordinated effort of all parties toward the client’s stated goals. Such services include various reports on specific goals and objectives or general investment and/or planning recommendations, guidance to outside assets and periodic updates. Our specific services in preparing your plan may include: • Review and clarification of your financial goals. • Assessment of your overall financial position including cash flow, balance sheet, investment strategy, risk management and estate planning. • Creation of a unique plan for each goal you have including personal and business real estate, education, retirement or financial independence, charitable giving, estate planning, business succession and other personal goals. • Development of a goal-oriented investment plan, with input from various advisors to our clients around tax suggestions, asset allocation, expenses, risk and liquidity factors for each goal. This includes IRA and qualified plans, taxable and trust accounts that require special attention. • Design of a risk management plan including risk tolerance, risk avoidance, mitigation and transfer, including liquidity as well as various insurance and possible company benefits. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 7 • Crafting and implementation of, in conjunction with your estate and/or corporate attorneys as tax advisor, an estate plan to provide for you and/or your heirs in the event of an incapacity or death. A written evaluation of each client's initial situation or Financial Plan is provided to the client. An annual review will be provided by the Adviser, if indicated by the Client and Advisor per the Financial Planning Agreement. More frequent reviews occur but are not necessarily communicated to the client unless immediate changes are recommended. Retirement Plan Advisory Services For employer-sponsored retirement plans with participant-directed investments, we provide advisory services as an investment advisor as defined under Section 3(21) and 3(38) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). When serving as an ERISA 3(21) investment advisor, the plan sponsor and our firm share fiduciary responsibility. The plan sponsor retains ultimate decision-making authority for the investments and may accept or reject the recommendations in accordance with the terms of a separate ERISA 3(21) Investment Advisor Agreement between our firm and the plan sponsor. We provide the following services to the plan sponsor: • Screen investments and make recommendations. • Monitor the investments and suggests replacement investments when appropriate. • Provide a quarterly monitoring report. When serving as an ERISA 3(38) investment manager, the plan sponsor is relieved of all fiduciary responsibility for the investment decisions made by our firm. We are the discretionary investment manager in accordance with the terms of a separate ERISA 3(38) Investment Management Agreement between our firm and the plan sponsor. Our investment management is limited in that it has the discretion solely to replace funds in plan fund lineups and initiate the transfer of existing balances to the replacements without prior approval from the client. We provide the following services to the plan sponsor: • Select the investments. • Monitor the investments and replace investments when appropriate. • Provide a quarterly monitoring report. • Develop a customized IPS. Our goal in identifying the plan’s investment options is to provide a range of options that will enable plan participants to invest according to varying risk tolerances, savings time Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 8 horizons or other financial goals. The plan's investment options may consist of ETFs, CITs, mutual funds, model portfolios, or other similar investment funds. The investment funds from which our Firm will select from will be those that are available on the plan record- keeper’s investment platform. Retirement Plan Advisory Services consists of helping employer plan sponsors to establish, monitor and review their company's retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include: investment selection and monitoring, plan structure, and participant education. We will provide quarterly recommendations for the plan’s investment allocation. Upon receipt we will review the investment options and provide positions for accounts in accordance with the management style chosen by the client. Analysis is provided for each fund held by the Plan. A report shows historical performance, asset allocation, and the performance of each fund, including its performance in comparison to its appropriate benchmark. The report also contains information regarding each Fund’s managers, capitalization, investment style, expenses, portfolio composition and other qualitative factors relevant to the Fund’s performance and adherence to the Plan’s Investment Policy Statement. Clients are responsible for making the fund changes within the account. Participant Level Education We can also be engaged to provide financial education to plan participants. The scope of education provided to participants will not constitute “investment advice” within the meaning of ERISA and participant education will relate to general principles for investing and information about the investment options currently in the plan. We may also participate in initial enrollment meetings and periodic workshops and enrollment meetings for new participants. We may meet with plan participants on a regular basis (quarterly, semi-annually or annually) as agreed upon at the Client’s discretion to discuss the reports and investment recommendations. We provide Plan consulting services separately or combined with our 3(21) services. Clients may choose to use any or all of these services as indicated on the Plan Sponsor Investment Advisory Agreement with our Firm. Betterment Institutional Platform Bonfire Financial may recommend that certain Clients implement their investment portfolios through Betterment Institutional, a division of Betterment LLC (herein “Betterment Institutional” or the “Investment Platform”). Betterment Institutional is what is often termed a “robo-advisor”, an online wealth management service that provides automated, algorithm-based portfolio management advice. Robo-advisors use technology to deliver similar services as traditional advisors, but generally only offer portfolio management and do not get involved in a Client’s personal situation, such as taxes and Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 9 retirement or estate planning. Bonfire Financial chose to affiliate with Betterment Institutional due to the Investment Platform’s customized portfolio allocations, automated rebalancing, and competitive fees. Bonfire Financial utilizes Betterment Institutional as a complement to its comprehensive financial planning services to provide cost effective investing coupled with personalized financial planning. To establish accounts with Betterment Institutional, the Client will also enter into one or more agreements with Betterment that provides the authority for discretionary investment management by the Investment Platform. Bonfire Financial remains the Client’s primary advisor and relationship contact and will select or construct a portfolio of ETFs and/or cash equivalents from the universe of investments included on the Investment Platform. Bonfire Financial will have the discretionary authority to instruct Betterment Institutional with respect to portfolio construction, asset allocation and other investment decisions, subject to the limitations described herein. Betterment Institutional will implement the portfolio and be responsible for the discretionary trading of the ETFs in the Client’s portfolio, including the purchase and sale of investments and the automatic rebalancing back to targets. Bonfire Financial will work with each Client to construct a portfolio to meets the needs of the Client. The Client has limited ability to put restrictions on its accounts. The account[s] cannot contain investments that are not included in the Betterment Institutional universe of ETFs and cash equivalents. Betterment Institutional, under its discretionary authority, will automatically adjust and rebalance the Client’s accounts daily based on the drift tolerance established for the positions in the investment portfolio. The Advisor’s investment philosophy is long-term, but Bonfire may make such tactical overrides to take advantage of market pricing anomalies or strong market sectors. Bonfire does not actively trade in the Client’s account[s] and is also limited to a enter one allocation change per account per trading day through Betterment Institutional, the Client should be aware of these potential disadvantages. Prior to engaging Bonfire Financial to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an agreement with Bonfire that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities. These services may include: • Establishing an Investment Strategy – Bonfire Financial in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 10 • Asset Allocation – Bonfire Financial will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client. • Portfolio Construction – Bonfire Financial will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. • Investment Management and Supervision – Bonfire Financial will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. Disclosure Regarding Rollover Recommendations A client or prospect leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). Our Firm may recommend an investor roll over plan assets to an IRA for which our Firm provides investment advisory services. As a result, our Firm and its representatives may earn an asset-based fee. In contrast, a recommendation that a client or prospective client leave their plan assets with their previous employer or roll over the assets to a plan sponsored by a new employer will generally result in no compensation to our Firm. Our Firm therefore has an economic incentive to encourage a client to roll plan assets into an IRA that our Firm will manage, which presents a conflict of interest. To mitigate the conflict of interest, there are various factors that our Firm will consider before recommending a rollover, including but not limited to: (i) the investment options available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA, (ii) fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and expenses in an IRA, (iii) the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus those of our Firm, (iv) protection of assets from creditors and legal judgments, (v) required minimum distributions and age considerations, and (vi) employer stock tax consequences, if any. All rollover recommendations are reviewed by our Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer and remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client has regarding the oversight. We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. We have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 11 Consulting Services We also provide clients investment advice on a more-limited basis on one-or-more isolated areas of concern such as estate planning, real estate, retirement planning, or any other specific topic. Additionally, we provide advice on non-securities matters about the rendering of estate planning, insurance, real estate, and/or annuity advice or any other business advisory / consulting services for equity or debt investments in privately held businesses. Assets As of December 31, 2024, our Firm manages a total of $198,158,840 of regulatory assets under management. The Firm manages $173,382,558 in discretionary assets and $24,776,282 in non-discretionary assets. ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION Investment Management Fees and Compensation Bonfire Financial charges a fee as compensation for providing Investment Management services on your account. These services include advisory services, trade entry, investment supervision, and other account-maintenance activities. Our recommended custodian charges may include transaction costs, custodial fees, redemption fees, retirement plan and administrative fees or commissions. See Additional Fees and Expenses below for additional details. The fees for portfolio management are based on an annual percentage of assets under management and are applied to the account asset value on a pro-rata basis and billed monthly in advance. The initial fee will be based upon the date the account is accepted for management by execution of the advisory agreement by Bonfire Financial or when the assets are transferred through the last day of the current month. Thereafter, the monthly fee will be calculated on an average daily balance of the prior month and billed in advance for the upcoming month. The average daily balance will be determined as reported by the Custodian. Fees are assessed on all assets under management, including securities, cash and money market balances. When applicable and noted in Appendix A of the Investment Management Agreement, legacy positions will also be excluded from the fee calculation. Our maximum investment advisory fee is 1.20% or we may negotiate a flat dollar fee. The specific advisory fees are set forth in your Investment Advisory Agreement. Fees may vary based on the size of the account, complexity of the portfolio, extent of activity in the account or other reasons agreed upon by us and you as the client. Our employees and their family related accounts are charged a reduced fee for our services. Unless otherwise instructed by the client, we will aggregate asset amounts in accounts from your same household together to determine the advisory fee for all your accounts. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 12 We would do this, for example, where we also service accounts on behalf of your minor children, individual and joint accounts for a spouse, and/or other types of related accounts. This consolidation practice is designed to allow you the benefit of an increased asset total, which could potentially cause your account(s) to be assessed a lower advisory fee. The independent qualified custodian holding your funds and securities will debit your account directly for the advisory fee and pay that fee to us. You will provide written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account held by the qualified custodian. Further, the qualified custodian agrees to deliver an account statement at least quarterly directly to you indicating all the amounts deducted from the account including our advisory fees. At our discretion, you may pay the advisory fees by check. You are encouraged to review your account statements for accuracy. The investment advisory Agreement may be terminated by the client without penalty. upon written notice to the other party. The management fee will be pro-rated to the date of termination, for the month in which the cancellation notice was given and the unearned fee refunded to you. Upon termination, you are responsible for monitoring the securities in your account, and we will have no further obligation to act or advise with respect to those assets. In the event of client’s death or disability, Bonfire Financials will continue management of the account until we are notified of client’s death or disability and given alternative instructions by an authorized party. Held Away Discretionary Accounts Relationship with Pontera We charge an annual advisory fee for services provided to these held away accounts, which is deducted on a quarterly basis. Fees are based on the value of the assets within these held away accounts. All advisory fee calculations for the held away discretionary account services are facilitated through a third-party nonaffiliated service, Pontera. Bonfire Financial is responsible for sending the final invoice to the Client and the Client sends advisory fee payment directly to Bonfire Financial via check. Financial Planning Fees Bonfire Financial will negotiate the planning fees with you. Fees may vary based on the extent and complexity of your individual or family circumstances and the amount of your assets under our management. We will determine your fee for the designated financial advisory services based on a fixed fee arrangement described below. Under our fixed fee arrangement, any fee will be agreed in advance of services being performed. The fee will be determined based on factors including the complexity of your financial situation, agreed upon deliverables, and whether or not you intend to implement Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 13 any recommendations through Bonfire Financial. Fixed fees for financial plans range from $1,000 to $10,000. Typically, we complete a plan within a month and will present it to you within 90 days of the contract date, provided that you have provided us all information needed to prepare the financial plan. Fees are billed sixty percent (60%) of the estimated fee will be due and payable at the time you enter into the financial planning agreement, with the balance due and payable at the time the financial plan is delivered. You may terminate the financial planning agreement by providing us with written notice. Upon termination, fees will be prorated to the date of termination and any unearned portion of the fee will be refunded to you based on an hourly rate of $250.00. Services provided up to date of termination but not yet paid to Bonfire Financial will be billed to you based on the hourly rate of $250.00. We will not require prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six (6) or more months in advance of providing any services. In no case are our fees based on, or related to, the performance of your funds or investments. When both investment management or plan implementation and financial planning services are offered, there is a conflict of interest since there is an incentive for us offering financial planning services to recommend products or services for which Bonfire Financial receives compensation. However, Bonfire Financial will make all recommendations independent of such considerations and based solely on our obligations to consider your objectives and needs. As a financial-planning client, you have the right not to act upon any of our recommendations and not affect the transaction(s) through us if you decide to follow the recommendations. Retirement Plan Advisory Services For Retirement Plan Advisory Services compensation, we charge an annual fee as negotiated with the client and disclosed in the Investment Advisory Agreement. The compensation method is explained and agreed upon in advance before any services are rendered. Fees are 0.50% of assets under management. Plan advisory services begin with the effective date of the Investment Advisory Agreement, which is the date you sign the Investment Advisory Agreement. For that calendar quarter, fees will be adjusted pro rata based upon the number of calendar days in the calendar quarter that the Agreement was effective. Timing of the fee billing may vary depending on the Custodian of the Plan. Our fee is billed in advance or arrears on the last business day of the calendar quarter, as indicated on the Investment Advisory Agreement Appendix A. For Plans where our fee is billed to the custodian, the fee is deducted pro-rata directly from the Plan Assets. Written authorization permitting us to be paid directly from the custodial account is outlined in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 14 Either party may terminate the Agreement at any time upon 30 days written notice. You are responsible to pay for services rendered until the termination of the agreement. Use of Betterment Institutional Platform For its services, Betterment Institutional will charge an asset-based fee that is in addition to the advisory fee listed above. Betterment Institutional’s fee includes the securities transaction fees for all trades. Bonfire will only receive its investment advisory fees as detailed above and does not share in any fees earned by Betterment Institutional. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with the Investment Platform, will be provided with the Investment Platform's Form ADV Part 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures). In the event that a client should wish to terminate their relationship with Betterment, the terms for the termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and that Independent Manager. Bonfire Financial will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate. Consulting Bonfire Financial provides consulting services for clients who need advice on a limited scope of work. Bonfire Financial will negotiate consulting fees with you. Fees may vary based on the extent and complexity of the consulting project. Fees will be billed as services are rendered. Either party may terminate the agreement. Upon termination, fees will be prorated to the date of termination and any unearned portion of the fee will be refunded to you as described above. AdvicePay Fees can be paid via check to our Firm from your personal bank account or can be invoiced and processed through a third-party nonaffiliated service, AdvicePay.

Bonfire Financial is not able to initiate any additional payments via AdvicePay as agreed upon and outlined in the Agreement. Administrative Services Provided by Advyzon Investment Management LLC We have contracted with Advyzon Investment Management LLC (referred to as “Advyzon”) to utilize its technology platforms to support data reconciliation, performance reporting, fee calculation and billing, research, client database maintenance, quarterly performance evaluations, payable reports, web site administration, models, trading platforms, and other functions related to the administrative tasks of managing client accounts. Due to this arrangement, Advyzon will have access to information on the client accounts, but Advyzon Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 15 will not serve as an investment advisor to our clients. Bonfire Financial and Advyzon are non-affiliated companies. Advyzon charges our Firm an annual fee for each account administered by Advyzon. Please note that the fee charged to the client will not increase due to the annual fee Bonfire Financial pays to Advyzon, the annual fee is paid from the portion of the management fee retained by Bonfire Financial. Additional Fees and Expenses In addition to the advisory fees paid to Bonfire Financial, clients may also incur certain charges imposed by other third parties, such as broker-dealers, custodians, trust companies, banks and other financial institutions (collectively “Financial Institutions”). These additional charges may include securities brokerage commissions, transaction fees, custodial fees, fees charged by the Independent Managers, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or ETF in a client’s account, as disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Bonfire Financial’s brokerage practices are described at length in Item 12, below. Neither our Firm nor its supervised persons accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products. Further, our firm does not share in any of these additional fees and expenses outlined above. Periods of Inactivity Bonfire has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best interest. As part of its investment advisory services, Bonfire will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, investment performance, fund manager tenure, style drift, and/or a change in the client’s investment objective. Based upon these factors, there may be extended periods of time when Bonfire determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither necessary nor prudent. Of course, as indicated below, there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by Bonfire will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s). Clients nonetheless remain subject to the fees described in Item 5 below during periods of account inactivity. OTHER ADDITIONAL FEES Private Funds: Clients invested in Private Funds are subject to certain fees, such as a management, performance or incentive fee and other fees and expenses, which are outlined in the fund’s offering documents. It is important for clients to review the fund’s offering documents to fully understand all the fees associated with the Fund. All the above fees are in addition to the fees charged by Bonfire. It is important for clients to know all the fees associated with their accounts; therefore, clients should review the fees charged by: (i) certain investments, such as private funds and mutual funds, and (ii) third parties, such as custodians, brokers and advisers, along with the fees charged by Bonfire to fully understand the total amount of fees affecting the account. Neither Bonfire nor any of its Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 16 supervised persons receives compensation for the purchase/sale/holding of securities or other investment products. Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may (or may not) be available from other registered (or unregistered) investment advisers for similar or lower fees. Mutual Fund Fees: Mutual funds often offer multiple share classes with differing internal fee and expense structures. Bonfire endeavors to identify and utilize the share class with the lowest internal fee and expense structure for each mutual fund. However, instances occur in which the lowest cost share class is not used. These instances include but are not limited to: Instances in which a certain custodian has a share class available that has a lower internal fee and expense structure than is available for the same mutual fund at other custodians. In such instances, Bonfire will select the lowest cost share class available at the custodian that holds your account even though a lower cost share class is available at another custodian. Instances in which the custodian that holds your account offers others a share class with a lower internal fee and expense structure than what is available to Bonfire at the same custodian. In such instances, Bonfire will select the lowest cost share class that the custodian makes available. This situation sometimes occurs because the custodian places conditions on the availability of the lower cost share class that Bonfire has determined are not appropriate to accept due to additional costs imposed by said conditions. Instances in which a share class with a lower internal fee and expense structure becomes available after the share class you hold was purchased. Bonfire periodically monitors this circumstance. However, a share class with a lower internal fee may become available between the time of your purchase and Bonfire’s next review. Instances in which a share class with a lower internal fee and expense structure than the share class you currently hold is available at your custodian, but where Bonfire is prevented by either the custodian or the fund sponsor from converting to the lower cost share class. Additionally, Bonfire does not convert to a share class with a lower internal fee and expense structure if the conversion will cause a taxable event or other expense/cost to you that negates the advantage of the lower cost share class. Non-Transaction Fee (NTF) Mutual Funds: When selecting investments for our clients’ portfolios we might choose mutual funds on your account custodian’s Non-Transaction Fee (NTF) list. This means that your account custodian will not charge a transaction fee or commission associated with the purchase or sale of the mutual fund. The mutual fund companies that choose to participate in your custodian’s NTF fund program pay a fee to be included in the NTF program. The fee that a mutual fund company pays to participate in the program is ultimately borne by the owners of the mutual fund including clients of our Firm. When we decide whether to choose a fund from your custodian’s NTF list or not, we consider our expected holding period of the fund, the position size and the expense ratio Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 17 of the fund versus alternative funds. Depending on our analysis and future events, NTF funds might not always be in your best interest. Unmanaged Assets From time to time, a Client may decide to hold certain securities or other property for which our Firm does not provide investment advisory services ("Unmanaged Assets") in the account(s) held at the Custodian or outside the Custodian. Unmanaged assets will be shown on Bonfire reports as unmanaged assets. It is the client’s sole responsibility to verify the accuracy of the Unmanaged status of any and all investments in their accounts and to notify Bonfire in writing of any corrections or adjustments that need to be made. Our Firm will have no duty, responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to these assets, and therefore, our Firm will not charge an investment advisory fee. However, if you have an account that solely contains Unmanaged Assets, the Custodian may charge an account maintenance fee as disclosed in the Custodian account paperwork executed by the Client. In all cases, it is the clients sole responsibility to monitor, manage, and transact all Unmanaged Assets (securities and/or accounts). Regulatory Fees To facilitate the execution of trades, regulatory Trading Activity Fees (TAF) are added to applicable sales transactions. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory fee is assessed on client accounts for sell transactions, and a FINRA fee is assessed on client accounts for sell transactions, for certain covered securities. This fee is not charged by our Firm but is accessed and collected by the custodian. The Custodian that our Firm uses, is a FINRA member firm. These fees recover the costs incurred by the SEC and FINRA, for supervising and regulating the securities markets and securities professionals. The fee rates vary depending on the type of transaction and the size of that transaction. For more information on the SEC and FINRA fees, please visit their websites: www.sec.gov/fast-answers/answerssec31htm.html or www.finra.org/industry/trading- activity-fee. ITEM 6 - PERFORMANCE BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT We do not charge advisory fees on a share of the capital appreciation of the funds or securities in a client account (so-called performance-based fees) nor engage in side by side management. ITEM 7 - TYPES OF CLIENTS We provide investment advice to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, small business owners, pensions, trusts and retirement plans. We do not have a minimum initial account value. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 18 ITEM 8 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS Investment Strategies We seek to recommend investment strategies that will give a client a diversified portfolio consistent with the client’s investment objective. We do this by analyzing the various securities, investment strategies, and third-party management firms. The goal is to identify a client’s risk tolerance, and then find an index or manager with the maximum expected return for that level of risk. Our investment strategies and advice may vary depending upon each client's specific financial situation. As such, we determine investments and allocations based upon your predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial horizon, financial information, liquidity needs, and other various suitability factors. Your restrictions and guidelines may affect the composition of your portfolio. We utilize fundamental analysis. We gather our information from a broad array of financial resources including financial newspapers, magazines, research prepared by others, corporate rating services, company press releases, annual reports, prospectuses and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We determine how to allocate assets among the various asset classes based on the investment strategy chosen, prevailing economic conditions and our determination of where we are in the economic cycle. Potential risks and opportunities are weighed to determine to what degree the portfolio should be invested. From time-to-time, market conditions may cause your account to vary from the established allocation. To remain consistent with the asset allocation guidelines established, your account is monitored on an ongoing basis and rebalanced to the original allocation, or if deemed beneficial, to a new allocation based on the then prevailing economic conditions and within the guidelines of the chosen investment strategy. In addition to the rebalancing, overall market conditions and microeconomic factors that affect specific holdings in your account may trigger changes in allocation. Your account may also receive informal reviews more frequently. Investment Philosophy Prior to making recommendations, we determine your financial status, needs, time horizon, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and tax status. From this, we create an investor profile and general asset allocation target. While we believe asset allocation is a key factor affecting long-term rate of return, we also believe fundamental research and securities selection are vital. To that end, we select indexes first and then look at a narrow, refined list of institutional fund managers known for excellence in their respective Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 19 disciplines. We focus primarily on the people, processes, research, consistency, and culture rather than simply recent “high performance” or “track record”. As much as reasonably possible, we strive to: • Diversify strategically • Balance between growth and value styles. • Rebalance as markets change. • Manage for tax efficient returns wherever possible or as your goals and objectives dictate. Our Firm may include mutual funds and exchange traded funds, (“ETFs”) in our investment strategies. Our policy is to purchase institutional share classes of those mutual funds selected for the client’s portfolio. The institutional share class generally has the lowest expense ratio. The expense ratio is the annual fee that all mutual funds or ETFs charge their shareholders. It expresses the percentage of assets deducted each fiscal year for funds expenses, including 12b-1 fees, management fees, administrative fees, operating costs, and all other asset-based costs incurred by the fund. Some fund families offer different classes of the same fund and one share class may have a lower expense ratio than another share class. These expenses come from client assets which could impact the client’s account performance. Mutual fund expense ratios are in addition to our fee, and we do not receive any portion of these charges. If an institutional share class is not available for the mutual fund selected, the adviser will purchase the least expensive share class available for the mutual fund. As share classes with lower expense ratios become available, we may use them in the client’s portfolio, and/or convert the existing mutual fund position to the lower cost share class. Clients who transfer mutual funds into their accounts with our Firm would bear the expense of any contingent or deferred sales loads incurred upon selling the product. If a mutual fund has a frequent trading policy, the policy can limit a client’s transactions in shares of the fund (e.g., for rebalancing, liquidations, deposits or tax harvesting). All mutual fund expenses and fees are disclosed in the respective mutual fund prospectus. Risk of Loss Clients must understand that past performance is not indicative of future results. Therefore, current and prospective clients should never assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable. Investing in securities involves risk of loss. Further, depending on the different types of investments there will be varying degrees of risk. Clients and prospective clients should be prepared to bear investment loss including loss of original principal. Because of the inherent risk of loss associated with investing, Bonfire Financial is unable to represent, guarantee, or even imply that our services and methods of analysis can or will Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 20 predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate you from losses due to market corrections or declines. Investors should be aware that accounts are subject to the following risks: Market Risk — Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political and issuer-specific events will cause the value of securities to rise or fall. Because the value of investment portfolios will fluctuate, there is the risk that you will lose money and your investment may be worth more or less upon liquidation. Foreign Securities and Currency Risk — Investments in international and emerging- market securities include exposure to risks such as currency fluctuations, foreign taxes and regulations, and the potential for illiquid markets and political instability. Capitalization Risk — Small-cap and mid-cap companies may be hindered as a result of limited resources or less diverse products or services, and their stocks have historically been more volatile than the stocks of larger, more established companies. Interest Rate Risk — In a rising rate environment, the value of fixed-income securities generally declines and the value of equity securities may be adversely affected. Credit Risk — Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay principal when due. A downgrade to an issuer’s credit rating or a perceived change in an issuer’s financial strength may effect a security’s value and, thus, impact the fund’s performance. Exchange-Traded Funds — ETFs face market-trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for shares, losses from trading in the secondary markets and disruption in the creation/redemption process of the ETF. Any of these factors may lead to the fund’s shares trading at either a premium or a discount to its “net asset value.” Performance of Underlying Managers — We select the mutual funds and ETFs in the asset allocation models. However, we depend on the manager of such funds to select individual investments in accordance with their stated investment strategy. Alternative Risk— Investments classified as "alternative investments" may include a broad range of underlying assets including, but not limited to, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, and registered, publicly traded securities. Alternative Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 21 investments are speculative, not suitable for all clients and intended for only experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high risk of the investment, which can include: loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative investment practices; lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for the fund and none expected to develop; volatility of returns; potential for restrictions on transferring interest in the fund; potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority with a single advisor; absence of information regarding valuations and pricing; potential for delays in tax reporting; less regulation and typically higher fees than other investment options such as mutual funds. The SEC requires investors be accredited to invest in these more speculative alternative investments. Investing in a fund that concentrates its investments in a few holdings may involve heightened risk and result in greater price volatility. Structured Notes - Structured products are designed to facilitate highly customized risk-return objectives. While structured products come in many different forms, they typically consist of a debt security that is structured to make interest and principal payments based upon various assets, rates, or formulas. Many structured products include an embedded derivative component. Structured products may be structured in the form of a security, in which case these products may receive benefits provided under federal securities law, or they may be cast as derivatives, in which case they are offered in the over-the-counter market and are subject to no regulation. Investment in structured products includes significant risks, including valuation, liquidity, price, credit, and market risks. One common risk associated with structured products is a relative lack of liquidity due to the highly customized nature of the investment. Moreover, the full extent of returns from the complex performance features is often not realized until maturity. As such, structured products tend to be more of a buy-and-hold investment decision rather than a means of getting in and out of a position with speed and efficiency. Another risk with structured products is the credit quality of the issuer. Although the cash flows are derived from other sources, the products themselves are legally considered to be the issuing financial institution’s liabilities. The vast majority of structured products are from high-investment-grade issuers only. Also, there is a lack of pricing transparency. There is no uniform standard for pricing, making it harder to compare the net-of-pricing attractiveness of alternative structured product offerings than it is, for instance, to compare the net expense ratios of different mutual funds or commissions among broker-dealers. Cybersecurity Risk - In addition to the Material Investment Risks listed above, investing involves various operational and “cybersecurity” risks. These risks include both intentional and unintentional events at our Firm or one of its third-party counterparties or service providers, that may result in a loss or corruption of data, Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 22 result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information, and generally compromise our Firm’s ability to conduct its business. A cybersecurity breach may also result in a third-party obtaining unauthorized access to our clients’ information, including social security numbers, home addresses, account numbers, account balances, and account holdings. Our Firm has established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity breaches. However, there are inherent limitations in these plans and systems, including that certain risks may not have been identified, in large part because different or unknown threats may emerge in the future. As such, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because our Firm does not directly control the cybersecurity systems of our third-party service providers. There is also a risk that cybersecurity breaches may not be detected. Digital Currency Risk - Our Firm’s use of digital currency is limited to instances where clients are looking to request some exposure within their portfolio. Advice is only rendered if a client does inquire about the use of digital assets within their portfolio. The shares of certain Products are also publicly quoted on OTC Markets and shares that have become unrestricted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC may be bought and sold throughout the day through any brokerage account. Cryptocurrency (notably, bitcoin), often referred to as “virtual currency”, “digital currency,” or “digital assets,” operates as a decentralized, peer- to-peer financial exchange and value storage that is used like money. If deemed appropriate, Clients may have exposure to bitcoin, a cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency operates without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government. Cryptocurrencies (i.e., bitcoin) may experience very high volatility. Cryptocurrency is also not legal tender. Federal, state, or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of cryptocurrency, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing. The SEC has issued a public report stating U.S. federal securities laws require treating some digital assets as securities. Cryptocurrency exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud, technical glitches, hackers, or malware. Due to its relatively recent launch, bitcoin has a limited trading history, making it difficult for investors to evaluate investments in this cryptocurrency. It is possible that another entity could manipulate the blockchain in a manner that is detrimental to the bitcoin network. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible such that an improper transfer can only be undone by the receiver of the bitcoin agreeing to return the bitcoin to the original sender. Digital assets are highly dependent on their developers and there is no guarantee that development will continue or that developers will not abandon a project with little or no notice. Third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to the holding and transfer of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, and their source code. Any threatened action that reduces confidence in a network’s long- term ability to hold and transfer cryptocurrency may affect investments in Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 23 cryptocurrencies. Investments in the Products are speculative investments that involve high degrees of risk, including a partial or total loss of invested funds. The shares of each Product are intended to reflect the price of the digital asset(s) held by such Product (based on digital asset(s) per share), less such Product’s expenses and other liabilities. Because each Product does not currently operate a redemption program, there can be no assurance that the value of such Product’s shares will reflect the value of the assets held by such Product, less such Product’s expenses and other liabilities, and the shares of such Product, if traded on any secondary market, may trade at a substantial premium over, or a substantial discount to, the value of the assets held by such Product, less such Product’s expenses and other liabilities, and such Product may be unable to meet its investment objective. Digital Assets. - Certain Accounts may enter into futures contracts based on Bitcoin or other digital assets or may hold and/or invest in digital assets directly, including Bitcoin. Digital assets, including “blockchain” assets, digital “tokens” and “cryptocurrencies”, are part of a new and rapidly evolving industry that is subject to a high degree of volatility in value/price and regulatory uncertainty. Digital currency is not issued or backed by any government, bank, or central organization, but instead only exists on an online, peer-to-peer, distributed network that acts as a public and immutable record of all transactions in the underlying digital currency. Digital asset prices have been subject to periods of excessive volatility in the past, and such periods can be expected to recur. Price volatility is influenced by many unpredictable factors, such as market perception, the development of competing digital assets, changes in government regulation, the occurrence of an adverse incident relating to one or more digital assets (including digital assets not held by Accounts), inflation rates, interest rate movements, and general economic and political conditions. Changes in the governance of a digital asset network may not receive sufficient support from users and miners, which may negatively affect that digital asset network’s ability to grow and respond to challenges. Further, digital asset networks face significant scaling challenges, and efforts to increase the volume and speed of transactions may not be successful. If the digital asset award for mining blocks and transaction fees for recording transactions on the Bitcoin Network are not sufficiently high to incentivize miners, miners may cease expanding processing power or demand high transaction fees, which could negatively impact the value of Bitcoin. Digital assets such as Bitcoin were only introduced within the past decade, and the medium-to-long term value of digital assets are subject to a number of factors relating to the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and to the fundamental investment characteristics of digital assets. Digital asset networks, including the Bitcoin Network, are part of a new and rapidly evolving industry, and the value of digital assets depends on the development and acceptance of these digital asset Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 24 networks. The Bitcoin Network was first launched in 2009 and Bitcoins were the first cryptographic digital assets created to gain global adoption and critical mass. Although the Bitcoin Network is an established digital asset network, the Bitcoin Network and other cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the issuance of digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry that is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. Moreover, in the past, flaws in the source code for digital assets have been exposed and exploited, including flaws that disabled some functionality for users, exposed users’ personal information and/or resulted in the theft of users’ digital assets. The cryptography underlying certain digital assets including Bitcoin could prove to be flawed or ineffective, or developments in mathematics and/or technology, including advances in digital computing, algebraic geometry and quantum computing, could result in such cryptography becoming ineffective. In any of these circumstances, a malicious actor may be able to take an Account’s digital assets, which would adversely affect the value of the Account. Moreover, functionality of a digital asset network may be negatively affected such that it is no longer attractive to users, thereby dampening demand for the applicable digital asset. In addition, if a digital asset held by an Account is determined to be a “security,” it may adversely affect the value of the digital asset. Accounts may trade digital assets on an over-the-counter basis or on a digital asset exchange. Opportunities to trade digital assets OTC may be limited, and OTC platforms may impose minimum trade size or other requirements that an Account is unable to satisfy. Exchanges on which digital assets trade generally are relatively new and largely unregulated, and may therefore be more exposed to fraud, mismanagement and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products. The SEC, CFTC, certain state regulators and other U.S. and non-U.S. government or quasigovernmental agencies have asserted authority over digital assets. Those entities and other U.S. and non-U.S. government or quasi- governmental agencies have recently and may, in the future, adopt laws, regulations, directives or other guidance that affect digital assets. The effect of any future U.S. federal or state or non-U.S. legal or regulatory changes is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to the value of an Account’s digital asset investments. Furthermore, the taxation of digital currencies is uncertain in many jurisdictions and continuously evolving in others. Venues through which digital assets trade are new and, in many cases, largely unregulated. Furthermore, many such digital asset trading venues, including digital asset exchanges and over the counter trading venues, do not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices or regulatory compliance. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in, or may experience problems relating to, digital asset trading venues. Digital asset trading venues may impose daily, weekly, monthly or customer- specific transaction or distribution limits or suspend withdrawals entirely, rendering the exchange of digital assets for fiat currency difficult or impossible. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 25 Participation in digital asset trading venues requires users to take on credit risk by transferring digital assets from a personal account to a third party’s account. Digital assets are also subject to enhanced custodial risks associated with the unique custodial safekeeping and trading attributes of these assets. ITEM 9 - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION Bonfire Financial does not have any legal, financial or other “disciplinary” item to report. ITEM 10 - OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS Insurance Bonfire Insurance, LLC is a separate entity but affiliated by common ownership. IARs of Bonfire Financial may act as agents appointed with various life, disability or other insurance companies, receive commissions, trails, or other compensation from the respective product sponsors and/or as a result of effecting insurance transactions for clients. Compensation from the sale of insurance products is run through Bonfire Insurance, LLC. Clients should note that they have the right to decide whether to act on the recommendation and the right to purchase any insurance products through Bonfire Insurance or its IAR or any licensed insurance agent not affiliated with Bonfire Financial. This creates a conflict of interest. We recognize the fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of our clients and have established policies in this regard to mitigate any conflicts of interest. Tax Services Brian Colvert, managing member of Bonfire Financial, LLC, owns and operates Bonfire Tax, LLC, a separate and affiliated limited liability corporation. Bonfire Tax, LLC offers tax preparation and planning services. Mr. Colvert has an incentive to recommend tax services and this incentive creates a conflict of interest between your interests and our Firm. Any fees received through the tax services do not offset advisory fees the client may pay for investment advisory services under Bonfire Financial. Clients should be aware that the ability to receive additional compensation by our Firm and its management persons or employees creates conflicts of interest that impair the objectivity of the Firm and these individuals when making advisory recommendations. Our Firm endeavors at all times to put the interest of its clients first as part of our fiduciary duty as a registered investment adviser; we take the following steps, among others to address this conflict: • we disclose to clients the existence of all material conflicts of interest, including the potential for the Firm and our employees to earn compensation from advisory clients in addition to the Firm's advisory fees; Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 26 • we disclose to clients that they have the right to decide to purchase recommended investment products from our employees; • • we collect, maintain and document accurate, complete and relevant client background information, including the client’s financial goals, objectives, and liquidity needs; the Firm conducts regular reviews of each client advisory account to verify that all recommendations made to a client are in the best interest of the client’s needs and circumstances; • we require that our employees seek prior approval of any outside employment activity so that we may ensure that any conflicts of interests in such activities are properly addressed; • we periodically monitor these outside employment activities to verify that any conflicts of interest continue to be properly addressed by the Firm; and • we educate our employees regarding the responsibilities of a fiduciary, including the need for having a reasonable and independent basis for the investment advice provided to clients. Our Firm does not have an application pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading adviser, or an associated person of the foregoing entities. Our firm nor any of its management persons are registered or have an application pending to register as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer. ITEM 11 - CODE OF ETHICS PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING Bonfire Financial and persons associated with us are allowed to invest for their own accounts or to invest in the same securities or other investments that we recommend or acquire for your account, and may engage in transactions that are the same as or different than transactions recommended to or made for your account. This creates a conflict of interest. We recognize the fiduciary duty to place your interests first and have established policies to act in your best interest and to mitigate conflicts of interest. We have developed and implemented a Code of Ethics that sets forth standards of conduct expected of our advisory personnel to mitigate this conflict of interest. The Code of Ethics addresses, among other things, personal trading, gifts, the prohibition against the use of inside information. The Code of Ethics is designed to protect our clients to detect and deter misconduct, educate personnel regarding the firm’s expectations and laws governing their conduct, remind personnel that they are in a position of trust and must act with complete propriety at all times, protect the reputation of Bonfire Financial, guard against violation of the Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 27 securities laws, and establish procedures for personnel to follow so that we may determine whether their personnel are complying with the firm’s ethical principles. We have established the following restrictions to ensure our firm’s fiduciary responsibilities: 1. No director, officer or supervised employee of Bonfire Financial shall prefer his or her own interest to that of the advisory client. Trades for supervised employees are traded alongside client accounts. 2. We maintain a list of all securities holdings of anyone associated with this advisory practice with access to advisory recommendations. These holdings are reviewed on a regular basis by an appropriate officer/individual of Bonfire Financial. 3. We emphasize the unrestricted right of the client to decline to implement any advice rendered, except in situations where we are granted discretionary authority of the client’s account. 4. We emphasize the unrestricted right of the client to select and choose any custodian the client wishes (except in non-ERISA Plan accounts where we are granted discretionary authority). 5. We require that all supervised individuals must act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State regulations governing registered investment advisory practices. 6. Any supervised individual not in observance of the above may be subject to termination. You may request a complete copy of our Code by contacting us at the address, telephone or email on the cover page of this Part 2; Attn: Chief Compliance Officer. ITEM 12 - BROKERAGE PRACTICES The Custodian and Brokers We Use Investment Management Services Clients must maintain assets in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker- dealer or bank. We recommend that our clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Advisor Services (“Schwab”), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. We are independently owned and operated, and unaffiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold client assets in a brokerage account, and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 28 While we recommend that clients use Schwab as custodian/broker, client must decide whether to do so and open accounts with Schwab by entering into account agreements directly with them. The Client opens the accounts with Schwab. The accounts will always be held in the name of the client and never in Bonfire Financial's name. How We Select Brokers/Custodians We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold client assets and execute transactions on terms that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others: 1. Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a separate fee for custody) 2. Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for client accounts) 3. Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests, bill payment, etc.) 4.

Prior service to Bonfire Financial and our other clients 10. Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below (see Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab) Client Brokerage and Custody Costs For our clients’ accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody services. However, Schwab receives compensation by charging ticket charges or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle into clients’ Schwab accounts. We have determined that having Schwab execute most trades is consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of client trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see How We Select Brokers/Custodians). Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab Schwab Advisor Services™ (formerly called Schwab Institutional®) is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide Bonfire Financial and our clients with access to its institutional brokerage, trading, custody, reporting, and related Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 29 services, many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts; others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (we do not have to request them) and at no charge to us. These are considered soft dollar benefits because there is an incentive to do business with Schwab. This creates a conflict of interest. We recognize the fiduciary responsibility to act in your best interest and have established policies in this regard to mitigate any conflicts of interest. Following is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support services: Services That Benefit Our Clients Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit our clients and their accounts. Services That May Not Directly Benefit Our Clients Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit our clients or their accounts. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that: 1. Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements) 2. Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts 3. Provide pricing and other market data 4. Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts 5. Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting Services That Generally Benefit Only Us Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services include: 1. Educational conferences and events 2. Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs 3. Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 30 4. Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third- party vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits, such as occasional business entertainment of our personnel. Our Interest in Schwab’s Services The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or purchase them. These services are not contingent upon us committing any specific amount of business to Schwab in trading commissions. We believe that our selection of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our clients. Some of the products, services and other benefits provided by Schwab benefit Bonfire Financial and may not benefit our client accounts. Our recommendation or requirement that you place assets in Schwab's custody may be based in part on benefits Schwab provides to us, or our agreement to maintain certain Assets Under Management at Schwab, and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and execution services provided by Schwab. This is a conflict of interest. We believe this arrangement is in the clients best interest and have developed polices to mitigate this conflict. We place trades for our clients' accounts subject to its duty to seek best execution and its other fiduciary duties. Schwab's execution quality may be different than other custodians. Brokerage for Client Referrals Bonfire Financial does not receive client referrals from any custodian or third party in exchange for using that custodian or third party. Aggregation and Allocation of Transactions Bonfire Financial may aggregate transactions if we believe that aggregation is consistent with the duty to seek best execution for our clients and is consistent with the disclosures made to clients and terms defined in the client investment advisory agreement. No advisory client will be favored over any other client, and each account that participates in an aggregated order will participate at the average share price (per custodian) for all transactions in that security on a given business day. Bonfire Financial aggregates trades of our personnel with those of client accounts. If we do not receive a complete fill for an aggregated order, we will allocate the order on a pro-rata basis. If we determine that a pro-rata allocation is not appropriate under the particular circumstances, we will base the allocation on other relevant factors, which may include: Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 31 1. When only a small percentage of the order is executed, with respect to purchase allocations, allocations may be given to accounts high in cash; 2. With respect to sale allocations, allocations may be given to accounts low in cash; 3. We may allocate shares to the account with the smallest order, or to the smallest position, or to an account that is out of line with respect to security or sector weightings, relative to other portfolios with similar mandates; 4. We may allocate to one account when that account has limitations in its investment guidelines prohibiting it from purchasing other securities that we expect to produce similar investment results and that can be purchased by other accounts in the block; 5. If an account reaches an investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an allocation, we may reallocate shares to other accounts. For example, this may be due to unforeseen changes in an account’s assets after an order is placed; 6. If a pro-rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a de minimis allocation in one or more accounts, we may exclude the account(s) from the allocation and disgorge any profits. Generally, de minimis allocations do not exceed 5% of the total allocation. Additionally, we may execute the transactions on a pro- rata basis. 7. We will document the reasons for any deviation from a pro-rata allocation. Trade Errors We have implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors; however, trade errors in client accounts cannot always be avoided. Consistent with our fiduciary duty, it is our policy to correct trade errors in a manner that is in the best interest of the client. In cases where the client causes the trade error, the client will be responsible for any loss resulting from the correction. Depending on the specific circumstances of the trade error, the client may not be able to receive any gains generated as a result of the error correction. In all situations where the client does not cause the trade error, the client will be made whole and we will absorb any loss resulting from the trade error if the error was caused by the firm. If the error is caused by the custodian, the custodian will be responsible for covering all trade error costs. If an investment gain results from the correcting trade, the gain will be donated to charity. We will never benefit or profit from trade errors. We do not routinely recommend, request or require that you direct us to execute transaction through a specified custodian. Additionally, we typically do not permit you to direct brokerage. We place trades for your account subject to our duty to seek best execution and other fiduciary duties. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 32 ITEM 13 - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS Account Reviews and Reviewers – Investment Supervisory Services The underlying securities within the investment supervisory services are monitored on at least a monthly basis. These reviews will be made by the firm’s investment advisor representatives. An annual review with the client is usually conducted in person or by telephone. The purpose of all these reviews is to ensure that the investment plan continues to be implemented in a manner which matches your objectives and risk tolerances. More- frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes in variables such as your individual circumstances, or the market, political or economic environment. You are urged to notify us of any changes in your personal circumstances. Statements and Reports Bonfire Financial will provide clients with quarterly Performance/Position summary reports. Reports may also be provided at every client meeting. Communication to clients will be done on an as needed basis with a minimum of 1 contact per calendar quarter. The custodian for the individual client’s account will also provide clients with an account statement at least quarterly. You are urged to compare the reports provided by Bonfire Financial against the account statements you receive directly from your account custodian. Financial Planning/Consulting clients (i.e. those who have no assets under management with us in our advisory program) will receive no regular reports from the Firm. ITEM 14 - CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION Bonfire Financial does not receive or pay out compensation for client referrals. Our Firm may be asked to recommend a financial professional, such as an attorney, accountant, or mortgage broker. In such cases, our Firm does not receive any direct compensation in return for any referrals made to individuals or firms in our professional network. Clients must independently evaluate these firms or individuals before engaging in business with them and clients have the right to choose any financial professional to conduct business. Individuals and firms in our financial professional network may refer clients to our Firm. Again, our Firm does not pay any direct compensation in return for any referrals made to our Firm. Our Firm does recognize the fiduciary responsibility to place client interests first and have established policies in this regard to mitigate any conflicts of interest. From time to time, our Firm and our financial advisors receive referrals or leads of potential clients from unaffiliated third parties in exchange for cash compensation (each a “third- Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 33 party solicitation arrangement”). Any third-party solicitation arrangement entered into by our Firm and a solicitor is operated pursuant to a written agreement in accordance with Rule 206(4)-3 of the Advisers Act. Our Firm and our financial advisors may pay cash compensation to the solicitor in the form of a flat fee or as a percentage of asset-based advisory fees received from a referred client. The details of the particular solicitation arrangement and compensation paid to the solicitor by us or our financial advisors will be disclosed to each referred client through a separate written disclosure. The advisory fees paid by any referred client are neither increased nor reduced because of the compensation paid to a solicitor by our Firm or our financial advisors. The client must acknowledge receipt of the Solicitors Disclosure describing the arrangements and nature of the relationship between professional partner and the Firm prior to any such payments being made. We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it makes available to us. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above under Item 12 Brokerage Practices. The availability to us of Schwab’s products and services is not based on us giving particular investment advice, such as buying particular securities for our clients. ITEM 15 - CUSTODY Custody has been defined by regulators as having access or control over client funds and/or securities. Our firm does not have physical custody of funds or securities, as it applies to investment advisors. Deduction of Advisory Fees Our firm has custody of the funds and securities solely as a consequence of its authority to make withdrawals from client accounts to pay its advisory fee. For all accounts, our firm has the authority to have fees deducted directly from client accounts. Our firm has established procedures to ensure all client funds and securities are held at a qualified custodian in a separate account for each client under that client’s name. Clients or an independent representative of the client will direct, in writing, the establishment of all accounts and therefore are aware of the qualified custodian’s name, address and the manner in which the funds or securities are maintained. Finally, account statements are delivered directly from the qualified custodian to each client, or the client’s independent representative, at least quarterly. You should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the statements against reports received from our Firm. When you have questions about your account statements, you should contact our Firm or the qualified custodian preparing the statement. Please refer to Item 5 for more information about the deduction of adviser fees. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 34 Standing Letters of Authorization Our firm is also deemed to have custody of clients’ funds or securities when clients have standing authorizations with their custodian to move money from a client’s account to a third-party (“SLOA”) and, under that SLOA, it authorizes us to designate the amount or timing of transfers with the custodian. The SEC has set forth a set of standards intended to protect client assets in such situations, which we follow. We do not have a beneficial interest on any of the accounts we are deemed to have Custody where SLOAs are on file. In addition, account statements reflecting all activity on the account(s), are delivered directly from the qualified custodian to each client or the client’s independent representative, at least quarterly. You should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the statements against reports received from us. When you have questions about your account statements, you should contact us, your Advisor or the qualified custodian preparing the statement. Please refer to Item 5 for more information about the deduction of advisor fees. ITEM 16 - INVESTMENT DISCRETION For all discretionary accounts, prior to engaging Bonfire Financial to provide investment advisory services, you will enter a written Agreement with us granting the firm the authority to supervise and direct, on an on-going basis, investments in accordance with the client’s investment objective and guidelines. In addition, you will need to execute additional documents required by the Custodian to authorize and enable Bonfire Financial, in its sole discretion, without prior consultation with or ratification by you, to purchase, sell or exchange securities in and for your accounts. We are authorized, in our discretion and without prior consultation with you to: (1) buy, sell, exchange and trade any stocks, bonds or other securities or assets and (2) determine the amount of securities to be bought or sold and (3) place orders with the custodian. Any limitations to such authority will be communicated by you to us in writing. The limitations on investment and brokerage discretion held by Bonfire Financial for you are: 1. For discretionary clients, we require that we be provided with authority to determine which securities and the amounts of securities to be bought or sold. 2. Any limitations on this discretionary authority shall be in writing as indicated on the Investment Advisory Agreement. You may change/amend these limitations as required. In some instance, we may not have discretion. We will discuss all transactions with you prior to execution or you will be required to make the trades if in an employer sponsored account. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 35 ITEM 17 - VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES Bonfire Financial will not vote proxies on your behalf. You are welcome to vote proxies or designate an independent third-party at your own discretion. You designate proxy voting authority in the custodial account documents. You must ensure that proxy materials are sent directly to you or your assigned third party. We do not take action with respect to any securities or other investments that become the subject of any legal proceedings, including bankruptcies. Clients are able to contact our office with questions about a particular proxy solicitation by phone at 719-510-6959. Class Action Suits - A class action is a procedural device used in litigation to determine the rights of and remedies, if any, for large numbers of people whose cases involve common questions of law and/or fact. Class action suits frequently arise against companies that publicly issue securities, including securities recommended by investment advisors to clients. With respect to class action suits and claims, you will have the responsibility for class actions or bankruptcies, involving securities purchased for or held in your account. We do not provide such services and are not obligated to forward copies of class action notices we may receive to you. ITEM 18 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION This item is not applicable to this brochure. We do receive prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a balance sheet for our most recent fiscal year. We are not subject to a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. Finally, we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time. Bonfire Financial, LLC – 5755 Mark Dabling Blvd Ste 220 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 FORM ADV 2A Brochure 36
