About
Galligan Financial Advisors serves individuals, families and small business owners, providing fee‑only investment advisory services alongside tax planning and preparation, retirement and estate planning, college funding, and partnership planning (including divorce, prenuptial and mediation support). The firm operates as a registered investment adviser and CPA practice and provides ongoing asset management while advising clients on employer retirement plan options without directly managing plan assets.
The firm requires a formal financial planning engagement before managing investments and combines fundamental, technical and economic analysis with tools such as Morningstar Principia to assess risk and construct diversified portfolios using no‑load mutual funds, ETFs and occasional individual stocks. Galligan Financial describes an active management approach with monthly performance reporting, bi‑weekly market advisories, acceptance of discretionary trading, and explicit risk controls including stop‑loss guidance.
Distinctive features include a relatively large client base (about 250 clients), which represents a high client load per advisor compared with peers, and the integration of CPA and attorney expertise within the advisory practice to provide in‑house tax preparation and legal‑adjacent planning. The firm’s operational practices—regular reconciliations through a single custodian, routine Morningstar risk snapshots, and a stated policy to cut positions that fall sharply in short timeframes—highlight a more interventionist risk‑management stance than many independent advisers.

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
