Makinley C

Series 65

Hilliard, OH

Purpose1st Financial

Makinley Cornley is Co-Founder and Financial Advisor for Purpose1st Financial, a registered investment advisor based in Hilliard, Ohio serving high-net-worth families, business owners, and professional athletes. Makinley came to wealth management through personal loss, graduating from Penn State one week before her father passed, and later watching his estate fail to be distributed the way he intended. That experience is the reason protection is never a secondary conversation at Purpose1st. It is always the first. Over her career she progressed from financial advisor to Director of Operations at a firm managing private equity relationships and multimillionaire client portfolios, learning the work from inside the rooms where it actually happens. She co-founded Purpose1st with her husband Jamelle Cornley on the belief that the people who work hardest to build something deserve someone who works just as hard to protect it.

ClearMind Capital

I'm the founder of ClearMind Capital, a fee-only firm based in Columbus, OH. I work mostly with business owners, self-employed professionals, and people who are close enough to retirement that the decisions they make in the next few years actually matter a lot. The planning I do tends to live at the intersection of retirement income, tax strategy, and the messier stuff that comes with owning a business or leaving one. A lot of my clients come in with good pieces in place but nobody has ever pulled them together or looked at how the tax picture connects to everything else. That's usually where the real work is. When we get that right, something shifts. People stop second-guessing whether they're making smart moves and start feeling like they actually have a plan they understand and trust. For most of my clients, that clarity is the thing they didn't know they were missing.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
