About

Heffernan Advisory serves individuals and families and also accepts engagements from entities such as employer retirement plans. The firm offers an asset management program called Investment By Design™ alongside financial planning and consulting services, and may facilitate implementation through affiliated broker-dealer and insurance channels when clients elect commission or insurance products.

The firm constructs portfolios using modern portfolio theory and model allocations, primarily implemented with mutual funds and ETFs, and manages most accounts on a discretionary basis with regular rebalancing. Heffernan Advisory also uses third‑party solutions (notably Advyzon/AIM’s turnkey program and AIM’s Nucleus marketplace), may include DFA funds and liquid alternatives, and can apply tax-overlay and other portfolio-level strategies.

The brochure discloses several affiliations and marketing/referral arrangements that distinguish the firm from many peers: it is affiliated with Heffernan Financial Services, which provides pension consulting, and with Heffernan Insurance and Gĕneos, the latter functioning as the affiliated broker‑dealer for certain implementation services. The firm also describes receipt of marketing support and sponsored conference attendance from custodians and vendors, and it discloses referral fee arrangements and other marketing or promotional support that could create conflicts of interest.

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
