About
Dougherty & Associates Financial Advisors is a registered investment adviser serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and financial consulting services, primarily advising on mutual funds and ETFs, and manages roughly $383 million for about 1,069 clients through a five‑advisor team.
The firm tailors portfolios to clients’ objectives and risk tolerances using fundamental analysis, with a mix of long‑ and short‑term purchases and the occasional use of margin or short‑term trading when suitable. It acts as a fiduciary for retirement accounts under applicable guidance, monitors and rebalances accounts, and offers IRA rollover recommendations as part of its consulting services.
Distinctive features include the firm’s routine use of a Standing Letter of Authorization to execute third‑party wire transfers when clients provide written instructions, and its confirmation that it meets custodian criteria that avoid a surprise annual audit despite that authority. The firm’s advisors also serve as registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and as licensed insurance agents (earning separate commission‑based compensation), and the firm routinely directs custody and trade execution to a single custodian platform, creating potential conflicts that the brochure discloses.

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.
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
