About
Mahaffey Financial LLC provides investment advisory and wealth management services to individual clients, with a focus on those preparing for or already in retirement. The firm manages roughly $6.44 million for a small client base and operates as a fee‑only advisory practice.
The firm follows a tactical, actively managed asset allocation approach that emphasizes low‑cost mutual funds, ETFs and selective individual securities. Accounts are managed on a primarily non‑discretionary basis—trades and transfers require client approval under limited trading authorization—and client accounts are reviewed at least weekly with adjustments made to mitigate losses in downturns.
Distinctive features in the brochure include the firm’s emphasis on non‑discretionary client authorization, which is less common among independent peers, and a disclosure that it has no other financial industry affiliations. The firm also notes it is not accepting new clients, provides regular monthly performance summaries and detailed fund‑level information (Morningstar, Barchart) to support client decision‑making.

Forms ADV
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
