About

Brogan Financial serves a mix of individual clients, including high-net-worth individuals, as well as businesses, retirement plans, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The firm offers investment advisory and portfolio management services together with financial planning, income distribution, tax and estate transfer planning, and occasional standalone planning engagements.

The firm tailors advice to each client’s stated objectives and risk profile, relying principally on fundamental securities analysis and a mix of long- and short-term strategies. Brogan Financial typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis, acts as a fiduciary for retirement accounts, and recommends diversified allocations across equities, fixed income, mutual funds and a range of alternative instruments.

Notable distinctions include public-facing educational activity and advisor training: the firm operates a weekly radio program on retirement and wealth topics and runs a nationwide coaching/mentoring program for other advisors. It also maintains an insurance affiliate through which advisory representatives may transact insurance business, and its reported investment universe explicitly includes less-common asset types such as futures, options, real estate and oil & gas partnership interests, and rare coins.

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
