About
Farley Financial provides discretionary investment management for individuals, families, trusts, guardianships, foundations, and endowments. The firm manages roughly $66 million for about 150 client households through a small advisory team and generally serves non‑high‑net‑worth individual clients rather than a high‑net‑worth clientele.
The firm follows a disciplined four‑step process — Organize, Formalize, Implement, Monitor — and emphasizes asset allocation, diversification, and rebalancing using predominantly exchange‑traded funds and mutual funds while rejecting market timing. Advisory discretion is used within written parameters agreed with clients, and the firm will not alter target allocations or liquidate taxable account positions without written client consent.
Compared with many peers, Farley Financial operates with a very small team and relies on Charles Schwab Institutional custody and Advyzon for reporting and portfolio analysis, while not taking custody of client assets itself. The firm also does not engage in block trading or aggregate client orders, does not charge performance‑based or proprietary fund fees, and, if proxy voting is delegated, notifies clients but does not cast proxy votes on their behalf.

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
