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.

Blue Advisors is a fee-only financial planning and investment management firm based in Columbus, Ohio, serving retirees and busy professionals throughout the region and across the United States. My mission is simple: to help you achieve your financial goals through clear advice, education, and a commitment to your best interests—always. Why Blue Advisors? Fiduciary Oath: As a fee-only, fiduciary advisor, I am legally obligated to put your interests first. I do not sell products or earn commissions—my only job is to give you expert, unbiased advice.

Low, Transparent Fees: My fee-only structure means no hidden costs or sales pitches—just straightforward, affordable advice. Personalized Service: By limiting the number of clients I work with, I ensure you receive the attention and tailored solutions you deserve. My Philosophy There's nothing new about sound financial planning and investment management. While laws and regulations may change, the core principles that drive long-term success remain unchanged. History has shown that the fundamentals work—there are no secret shortcuts or magic products. My role is to help you apply these time-tested strategies to your unique situation. My Process: Simple, Secure, Supportive I understand that choosing or changing a financial advisor can feel overwhelming. That's why I've created a straightforward, stress-free process: Get Acquainted: We start with a relaxed, no-pressure conversation to understand your goals, concerns, and what prompted you to seek guidance. It’s an opportunity for you to ask questions and see if we’re the right fit. Secure Information Sharing: If you decide to move forward, you’ll share your financial information through safe, encrypted tools. Your privacy and security are always my top priority. Personalized Planning: I review your documents, assess your current financial picture, and create a clear, comprehensive financial plan and investment strategy tailored to your goals, values, and long-term aspirations. We walk through everything together so you feel confident, informed, and in control. Ongoing Guidance: Your financial life isn’t static—and your plan shouldn’t be either. As laws, markets, and life circumstances change, I’ll be there to adjust your plan, answer questions, and provide ongoing education and support. Let's Take the First Step—Together Taking that first step toward financial clarity can be intimidating. My goal is to make it as easy and comfortable as possible. At Blue Advisors, you'll find a trusted partner—one who listens, educates, and guides you every step of the way. Ready to start your financial journey? Let's connect and build your brighter financial future together. .

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.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

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.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
