About
Mattson Financial Services, LLC provides fee‑based financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, and retirement‑plan consulting to individuals, trusts, estates and business clients. The firm offers both integrated investment management and standalone financial planning and acts as a wrap‑fee program sponsor through third‑party platforms.
Investment management is asset‑allocation driven and typically uses equities, ETFs, fixed income and cash, with periodic rebalancing and a mix of fundamental, quantitative and technical analyses; the firm also uses Nitrogen (formerly Riskalyze) to quantify client risk scores and align portfolios. MFS frequently implements model portfolios and third‑party managers via platform providers and discloses use of co‑advisor arrangements for certain strategies and reporting.
Several operational features distinguish MFS from many peers: the brochure discloses a 2019 Stipulation and Consent Order with the State of Florida related to registration exemptions, and the firm conducts public seminars and workshops for investor education. The firm also highlights access to alternative investments through a third‑party platform (AE Wealth/CAIS), a wrap‑fee offering, and affiliations with tax preparation and insurance entities—arrangements that affect product availability, potential conflicts of interest, and reporting.

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
