About
McKinley Carter Wealth Services is an SEC-registered investment adviser that serves individuals and families as well as institutional and nonprofit clients, providing financial planning, discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, wealth management, retirement plan consulting, and philanthropic endowment services. The firm implements portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, individual equity and debt securities, options, and, for eligible clients, privately placed securities and third‑party independent managers.
MCWS’s investment process combines fundamental and technical analysis within a long‑term strategic asset allocation framework, with shorter‑term tactical shifts tied to economic views, and portfolio construction that is tailored to client risk tolerance and account size. The firm conducts due diligence on independent managers using performance, risk statistics, manager tenure, and other quantitative and qualitative factors and monitors accounts at least quarterly.
The brochure discloses several features that are less common among multi‑team peers: a member of the firm maintains a limited, separate legal practice; MCWS explicitly offers retirement plan services and institutional investment supervisory services (including endowment and defined‑benefit plan work) in addition to individual wealth management; and the firm has formal arrangements with third‑party platforms and promoters (including an insurance platform relationship and a lending‑platform relationship) to support specialized services. These affiliations and referral arrangements, together with the firm’s active use of independent managers and private placements, inform how MCWS delivers services and manages potential conflicts.

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
