About

Bane O’Leary LLC is a small team advisory firm managing roughly $85 million for about 166 primarily individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering discretionary portfolio management alongside ongoing and one‑time financial planning services. The firm’s planning offerings include Social Security analyses and tax planning reports in addition to cash‑flow, retirement, estate and education planning components.

The firm implements model portfolios under discretionary authority tailored to each client’s goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, using fundamental and technical analysis and long‑term purchase strategies. Accounts are monitored regularly with formal reviews at least quarterly and reporting delivered to clients through custodial statements and periodic performance reports.

Compared with many peers, Bane O’Leary conducts no‑charge public seminars and workshops as an explicit educational outreach, and it documents Social Security and tax planning recommendations in written reports as standalone services. Advisors at the firm hold Registered Financial Consultant credentials and also maintain licensed insurance practices (approximately 15% of representatives’ time), a cross‑practice arrangement the brochure discloses and says is managed through procedures and fiduciary obligations.

Not sure where to start?

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
