About
Hanley & Associates serves individual investors — including high-net-worth and non‑HNW clients — as well as small business owners and corporate pension and profit‑sharing plans. The firm provides financial coaching and consulting, retirement‑plan fiduciary reviews, investor education workshops, monitoring of mutual funds and 529 plans, and introduces clients to a third‑party portfolio manager for asset management.
The firm operates primarily in a non‑discretionary capacity: it helps clients set investment policy and acts as a liaison and co‑advisor while a recommended third‑party manager implements model portfolios that follow Modern Portfolio Theory with periodic rebalancing. Hanley & Associates conducts regular account reviews, offers limited authority arrangements to implement client instructions, and does not exercise discretionary trading authority over Matson Money accounts.
Noteworthy features include regular no‑cost educational seminars and participant classes for retirement plans and a consultative fiduciary analysis offering for plan sponsors, services that are less common among peers. The firm also discloses that a principal is licensed to sell insurance and may receive commissions on insurance products, a potential conflict the firm describes and addresses in its policies.

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
