A. Trinity Financial Advisors LLC (the “Registrant”) is an Ohio limited liability company formed in 2004. The Registrant was previously registered as an investment adviser with the Ohio Division of Securities and transitioned its registration to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2015. The Registrant is principally owned by Geoffrey Biehn, who serves as the President and Chief Compliance Officer. Benjamin Hartings serves as Vice President and is also a minority owner. B. As discussed below, the Registrant offers investment advisory services to its clients (currently: individuals and high net worth individuals), as well as financial planning and consulting services on a fee-only basis. INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES The client can engage the Registrant to provide discretionary investment advisory services on a fee-only basis. The Registrant’s annual investment advisory fee is based upon a percentage (%) of the market value of the assets placed under management. Before engaging the Registrant to provide investment advisory services, clients are required to enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Registrant setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement (including termination), describing the scope of the services to be provided, and the fee that is due from the client. Registrant’s annual investment advisory fee includes investment advisory services, and general financial planning and consulting services. In the event that the client requires extraordinary planning and/or consultation services (to be determined in the sole discretion of the Registrant), the Registrant may determine to charge for such additional services pursuant to a stand-alone Financial Planning and Consulting Agreement (see below). The Registrant provides investment advisory services tailored specifically to the needs of each client. Before providing investment advisory services, an investment adviser representative will ascertain each client’s investment objectives. Then, the Registrant will allocate and/or recommend that the client allocate investment assets consistent with the designated investment objectives. The Registrant primarily allocates client investment assets among: exchange-listed securities, mutual funds, individual bonds, bond funds, and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) on a discretionary basis in accordance with the client’s designated investment objective(s). Once allocated, the Registrant provides ongoing monitoring and review of account performance and asset allocation as compared to client investment objectives and may periodically rebalance/execute transactions for the account based upon such reviews. BUSINESS ADVISORY SERVICES Registrant also offers combined investment advisory services and business-related financial planning services to business entities. While the investment advisory services are generally as described immediately above, the business-related financial planning services somewhat differ. Before engaging Registrant to provide investment advisory services, clients are required to enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Registrant setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement (including termination), describing the scope of the services to be provided, and the fee that is due from the client. The client and Registrant will agree on the nature and scope of those financial planning services from time to time, which will generally include some or all of the following: overall business analysis and review; cash flow planning; company distribution planning; receivables analysis; coordination with client’s designated tax professional(s) regarding tax planning; analysis and advice regarding buying or selling part or an entirety of the client’s business; business real estate structuring, financing, or refinancing analysis. Registrant will provide these services as appropriate during the engagement but will not be obligated to provide such services with any regularity or according to a set schedule unless specifically agreed with the client. MISCELLANEOUS Limitations of Financial Planning and Non-Investment Consulting/Implementation Services. To the extent requested by the client, Registrant will generally provide financial planning and related consulting services regarding non-investment related matters, such as estate planning, tax planning, insurance, etc. Prior to engaging Registrant to provide planning or consulting services, clients are generally required to enter into a Financial Planning and Consulting Agreement with Registrant setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement (including termination), describing the scope of the services to be provided, and the portion of the fee that is due from the client prior to Registrant commencing services. Registrant does not serve as a law firm, accounting firm, or insurance agency, and no portion of its services should be construed as legal, accounting, or insurance implementation services. Accordingly, Registrant does not prepare estate planning documents, tax returns, or sell commissioned insurance products. To the extent requested by a client, Registrant may recommend the services of other professionals for certain non-investment implementation purposes (i.e., attorneys, accountants, insurance agents, etc.). The client is under no obligation to engage those services. The client retains absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from Registrant and/or its representatives. The engaged licensed professional (i.e., attorney, accountant, insurance agent, etc.), and not Trinity, shall be responsible for the quality and competency of the services provided. If the client engages any recommended professional on a separate and individual basis, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such engagement, the client agrees to seek recourse exclusively from and against the engaged professional. The preceding sentence shall not limit or waive any applicable rights under federal or state law, including securities laws and fiduciary obligations that cannot be limited or waived. Client Obligations. In performing its services, Registrant shall not be required to verify any information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals and is expressly authorized to rely thereon. Moreover, each client is advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify the Registrant if there is ever any change in their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising Registrant’s previous recommendations and/or services. Portfolio Activity. Registrant has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best interest. Registrant 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, market conditions, fund manager tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, and/or a change in the client’s investment objective. Based upon these factors, there may be extended periods of time when Registrant determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are unnecessary. Clients remain subject to the fees described in Item 5 below during periods of portfolio inactivity. Of course, as indicated below, there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by the Registrant will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s). Account Aggregation / Financial Planning Platforms. Registrant may provide its clients with access to online account aggregation / financial planning platforms (the “Platforms”). The Platforms can allow a client to view their complete asset allocation, including those assets that Registrant does not manage (the “Excluded Assets”). Registrant does not provide investment management, monitoring, or implementation services for the Excluded Assets. Therefore, Registrant shall not be responsible for the investment performance of the Excluded Assets. Rather, the client and/or their advisor(s) that maintain management authority for the Excluded Assets, and not Registrant, shall be exclusively responsible for such investment performance. The client may choose to engage Registrant to manage some or all of the Excluded Assets pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Investment Advisory Agreement between Registrant and the client. The Platforms may also provide access to other types of information and functionality, including financial planning information and applications/calculators, which should not, in any manner whatsoever, be construed as services, advice, or recommendations provided by Registrant. Finally, Registrant shall not be held responsible for any adverse results a client may experience if the client engages in financial planning or other functions available on the Platforms without Registrant’s assistance or oversight. Reporting Services. Registrant can also provide account reporting services, which can incorporate client investment assets that are not part of the assets that Registrant manages (the “Excluded Assets”). Unless agreed to otherwise, the client and/or his/her/its other advisors that maintain trading authority, and not Registrant, shall be exclusively responsible for the investment performance of the Excluded Assets. Unless also agreed to otherwise, Registrant does not provide investment management, monitoring or implementation services for the Excluded Assets. If the Registrant is asked to make a recommendation as to any Excluded Assets, the client is under absolutely no obligation to accept the recommendation, and Registrant shall not be responsible for any implementation error (timing, trading, etc.) relative to the Excluded Assets. The client can engage Registrant to provide investment management services for the Excluded Assets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Registrant and the client.
• eMoney and Addepar. In the event that the Registrant provides the client with access to an unaffiliated vendor’s website such as eMoney or Addepar, and the site provides access to information and/or concepts, including financial planning, the client, should not, in any manner whatsoever, infer that such access is a substitute for services provided by the Registrant. Rather, if the client utilizes any such content, the client does so separate and independent of the Registrant. Other Assets. A client may:
• hold securities that were purchased at the request of the client or acquired prior to the client’s engagement of the Registrant. Generally, with potential exceptions, the Registrant does not/would not recommend nor follow such securities, and absent mitigating tax consequences or client direction to the contrary, would prefer to liquidate such securities. Please Note: If/when liquidated, it should not be assumed that the replacement securities purchased by the Registrant will outperform the liquidated positions. To the contrary, different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy (including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended or undertaken by the Registrant) will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s). In addition, there may be other securities and/or accounts owned by the client for which the Registrant does not maintain custodian access and/or trading authority; and,
• hold other securities and/or own accounts for which the Registrant does not maintain custodian access and/or trading authority. Corresponding Services/Fees: When agreed to by the Registrant, the Registrant shall: (1) remain available to discuss these securities/accounts on an ongoing basis at the request of the client; (2) monitor these securities/accounts on a regular basis, including, where applicable, rebalancing with client consent; (3) shall generally consider these securities as part of the client’s overall asset allocation; (4) report on such securities/accounts as part of regular reports that may be provided by the Registrant; and, (5) include the market value of all such securities for purposes of calculating advisory fee. Cash Positions. Registrant continues to treat cash as an asset class. As such, unless determined to the contrary by Registrant, all cash positions (money markets, etc.) shall continue to be included as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating Registrant’s advisory fee. At any specific point in time, depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee that such anticipated market conditions/events will occur), Registrant may maintain cash positions for defensive purposes. In addition, while assets are maintained in cash, such amounts could miss market advances. Depending upon current yields, at any point in time, Registrant’s advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client’s money market fund. ANY QUESTIONS: Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, Geoffrey Biehn, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective may have regarding the above fee billing practice. Cash Sweep Accounts. Certain account custodians can require that cash proceeds from account transactions or new deposits, be swept to and/or initially maintained in a specific custodian designated sweep account. The yield on the sweep account will generally be lower than those available for other money market accounts. When this occurs, to help mitigate the corresponding yield dispersion, Registrant shall (usually within 30 days thereafter) generally (with exceptions) purchase a higher yielding money market fund (or other type security) available on the custodian’s platform, unless Registrant reasonably anticipates that it will utilize the cash proceeds during the subsequent 30-day period to purchase additional investments for the client’s account. Exceptions and/or modifications can and will occur with respect to all or a portion of the cash balances

for various reasons, including, but not limited to the amount of dispersion between the sweep account and a money market fund, the size of the cash balance, an indication from the client of an imminent need for such cash, or the client has a demonstrated history of writing checks from the account. Please Note: The above does not apply to the cash component maintained within a Registrant actively managed investment strategy (the cash balances for which shall generally remain in the custodian designated cash sweep account), an indication from the client of a need for access to such cash, assets allocated to an unaffiliated investment manager, and cash balances maintained for fee billing purposes. Please Also Note: The client shall remain exclusively responsible for yield dispersion/cash balance decisions and corresponding transactions for cash balances maintained in any Registrant unmanaged accounts. ANY QUESTIONS: Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, Geoffrey Biehn, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above. Retirement Plan Rollovers – No Obligation / Conflict of Interest. A client or prospective client 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) roll over 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). If Registrant recommends that a client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account to be managed by Registrant, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if Registrant will earn new (or increase its current) compensation as a result of the rollover. If Registrant provides a recommendation as to whether a client should engage in a rollover or not (whether it is from an employer’s plan or an existing IRA), Registrant is acting as a fiduciary 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. No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets to an account managed by Registrant. The Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, Geoffrey Biehn, remains available to address any questions regarding the conflict of interest presented by such a rollover recommendation. Fiduciary Status: Per the DOL: “When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are 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. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours.” Accordingly, relative to retirement accounts, “we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.” Borrowing Against Assets/Risks. A client who has a need to borrow money could determine to do so by using:
• Margin-The account custodian or broker-dealer lends money to the client. The custodian charges the client interest for the right to borrow money, and uses the assets in the client’s brokerage account as collateral or
• Pledged Assets Loan- In consideration for a lender (i.e., a bank, etc.) to make a loan to the client, the client pledges its investment assets held at the account custodian as collateral; These above-described collateralized loans are generally utilized because they typically provide more favorable interest rates than standard commercial loans. These types of collateralized loans can assist with a pending home purchase, permit the retirement of more expensive debt, or enable borrowing in lieu of liquidating existing account positions and incurring capital gains taxes. However, such loans are not without potential material risk to the client’s investment assets. The lender (i.e., custodian, bank, etc.) will have recourse against the client’s investment assets in the event of loan default or if the assets fall below a certain level. For this reason, Registrant does not recommend such borrowing unless it is for specific short-term purposes (i.e., a bridge loan to purchase a new residence). Registrant does not recommend such borrowing for investment purposes (i.e., to invest borrowed funds in the market). Regardless, if the client was to determine to utilize margin or a pledged assets loan, the following economic benefits would inure to Registrant:
• by taking the loan rather than liquidating assets in the client’s account, Registrant continues to earn a fee on such Account assets; and,
• if the client invests any portion of the loan proceeds in an account to be managed by Registrant, Registrant will receive an advisory fee on the invested amount; and,
• if Registrant’s advisory fee is based upon the higher margined account value (see margin disclosure at Item 5 below), Registrant will earn a correspondingly higher advisory fee. This could provide Registrant with a disincentive to encourage the client to discontinue the use of margin. Please Note: The Client must accept the above risks and potential corresponding consequences associated with the use of margin or a pledged assets loans. Cybersecurity Risk. The information technology systems and networks that Registrant and its third-party service providers use to provide services to Registrant’s clients employ various controls, which are designed to prevent cybersecurity incidents stemming from intentional or unintentional actions that could cause significant interruptions in Registrant’s operations and result in the unauthorized acquisition or use of clients’ confidential or non- public personal information. Clients and Registrant are nonetheless subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents that could ultimately cause them to incur losses, including for example: financial losses, cost and reputational damage to respond to regulatory obligations, other costs associated with corrective measures, and loss from damage or interruption to systems. Although Registrant has established processes to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents, there is no guarantee that these efforts will always be successful, especially considering that Registrant does not directly control the cybersecurity measures and policies employed by third-party service providers. Clients could incur similar adverse consequences resulting from cybersecurity incidents that more directly affect issuers of securities in which those clients invest, broker-dealers, qualified custodians, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators, or other financial institutions. Unaffiliated Private Investment Funds. Registrant provides investment advice regarding unaffiliated private investment funds, which may include recommendations that certain qualified clients consider investing in one or more private investment funds. Registrant’s role in this respect will be limited to initial and ongoing due diligence and investment monitoring services. If a client determines to become an unaffiliated private fund investor, the amount of assets invested in the respective fund(s) will be included as part of “assets under management” for purposes of Registrant calculating its investment advisory fee (unless Registrant expressly agrees otherwise, in writing). Registrant’s clients are under absolutely no obligation to consider or make an investment in a private investment fund(s). Private investment funds involve various risk factors as further described in Item 8 below. Unlike liquid investments that a client may own, private investment funds do not provide daily liquidity or pricing. Each prospective client investor will be required to complete a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the client shall establish qualification for investment in the fund and acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors that are associated with such an investment. Unaffiliated Private Investment Fund Valuation. In the event that Registrant references private investment funds owned by the client on any supplemental account reports prepared by Registrant, the value(s) for all private investment funds owned by the client shall reflect the most recent valuation provided by the fund sponsor. However, if subsequent to purchase, the fund has not provided an updated valuation, the valuation shall reflect the initial purchase price. If subsequent to purchase, the fund provides an updated valuation, then the statement will reflect that updated value. The updated value will continue to be reflected on the report until the fund provides a further updated value. Please Also Note: As result of the valuation process, if the valuation reflects initial purchase price or an updated value subsequent to purchase price, the current value(s) of an investor’s fund holding(s) could be significantly more or less than the value reflected on the report. Unless otherwise indicated, Registrant shall calculate its fee based upon the latest value provided by the fund sponsor. Custodian Charges – Additional Fees. As discussed in Item 12 below, unless the client directs otherwise or an individual client’s circumstances require, the Registrant will generally recommend that Charles Schwab and Co., Inc., and its affiliates (“Schwab”) to serve as the broker-dealer/custodian for client investment advisory assets. In limited circumstances, the Registrant may recommend Rockbridge Capital or Chicago Pacific Founders. Broker-dealers such as Schwab charge brokerage commissions, transaction, and/or other type fees for effecting certain types of securities transactions (i.e., including transaction fees for certain mutual funds, and mark-ups and mark-downs charged for fixed income transactions, etc.). The types of securities for which transaction fees, commissions, and/or other type fees (as well as the amount of those fees) shall differ depending upon the broker- dealer/custodian. While certain custodians, including Schwab, generally (with the potential exception for large orders) do not currently charge fees on individual equity transactions (including ETFs), others do. There can be no assurance that Schwab will not change their transaction fee pricing in the future. Schwab may also assess fees to clients who elect to receive trade confirmations and account statements by regular mail rather than electronically. Use of Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds. Registrant utilizes mutual funds and exchange traded funds for its client portfolios. In addition to Registrant’s investment advisory fee described below, and transaction and/or custodial fees discussed below, clients will also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange traded fund purchases, charges imposed at the fund level (e.g., management fees and other fund expenses). The mutual funds and exchange traded funds utilized by the Registrant are generally available directly to the public. Thus, a client can generally obtain the funds recommended and/or utilized by Registrant independent of engaging Registrant as an investment advisor. However, if a prospective client does so, then they will not receive Registrant's initial and ongoing investment advisory services. Please Note - Use of DFA Mutual Funds. Registrant utilizes the mutual funds issued by Dimensional Fund Advisors (“DFA”). DFA funds are generally only available through registered investment advisers approved by DFA. Thus, if the client was to terminate Registrant’s services, and transition to another adviser who has not been approved by DFA to utilize DFA funds, restrictions regarding additional purchases of, or reallocation among other DFA funds, will generally apply. ANY QUESTIONS: Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, Geoffrey Biehn, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above. Investment Risk. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and it should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy (including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended or undertaken by Registrant) will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s). Disclosure Brochure. A copy of the Registrant’s written Brochure as set forth on Part 2A of Form ADV and Form CRS (Client Relationship Summary) shall be provided to each client prior to, or contemporaneously with, the execution of an agreement between the client and the Registrant. C. The Registrant provides investment advisory services tailored specifically to the needs of each client. Before providing investment advisory services, an investment adviser representative will ascertain each client’s investment objective(s). Thereafter, the Registrant shall allocate and/or recommend that the client allocate investment assets consistent with the designated investment objective(s). The client may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions, in writing, on the Registrant’s services. D. The Registrant does not participate in a wrap fee program. E. As of December 31, 2023, the Registrant had $486,380,919 in assets under management on a discretionary basis and $1,417,021 in assets under management on a non-discretionary basis, for a total of $487,797,940 in assets under management.
