MC2 Financial Advisers, Inc. provides fee-only investment management and related financial planning to individuals, trusts, corporations and retirement plans, serving about 68 clients and managing approximately $66.1 million in client assets. The firm reports that roughly 75% of its business is ongoing asset management with financial planning and consulting comprising most of the remainder.

The firm’s investment approach centers on asset allocation and diversification implemented primarily through no‑load mutual funds and ETFs, with recommended allocations across three or more asset classes and semi‑annual performance reviews. Accounts are generally managed on a non‑discretionary basis—MC2 requires client consent for trades and uses a limited agent authorization for operational purposes—and it offers optional connectivity to held‑away accounts through the third‑party Pontera system for consolidated viewing or trading with client consent.

Distinctive features include an affiliation with a separate CPA practice whose owner is the firm’s principal; the two businesses share office space and certain administrative arrangements, and the principal continues to practice as a CPA. Combined with the firm’s small adviser size (two advisors), explicit avoidance of commissions, lack of directed brokerage or soft‑dollar arrangements, and its non‑discretionary management emphasis, these operational characteristics differentiate MC2 from many peers.
