About
Marathon Financial Advisory LLC is a newly registered, state-registered investment adviser that provides financial planning and non‑discretionary investment management to individuals and small businesses. Services can be delivered as standalone planning engagements or alongside model‑based portfolio advice that uses mutual funds, ETFs, and occasional individual securities.
The firm combines strategic asset allocation with a tactical overlay and emphasizes downside protection, managing accounts on a non‑discretionary basis and rebalancing periodically while leaving final trade execution to clients. Marathon tailors recommendations to each client’s circumstances and, when directed by the client, coordinates with other professional advisors such as attorneys or tax professionals.
What is distinctive about Marathon is that its principal and associated representatives operate separate accounting and real‑estate businesses and also perform contract accounting work for a large broker‑dealer; the brochure discloses these affiliations and describes policies to separate advisory activities from those outside businesses. The firm also notes it offers fixed‑fee planning in addition to asset‑based advisory arrangements, does not use sub‑advisors, and currently reports no assets under management and no discretionary authority.

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
