About

MFA Wealth Services is a registered investment adviser serving individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as trusts, business owners and corporations through a three‑advisor team managing roughly $293 million in client assets across 224 accounts. The firm offers personalized financial planning, ongoing portfolio management (discretionary and non‑discretionary), and selection and monitoring of third‑party money managers.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes strategic asset allocation grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, using mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks and bonds, and covered options, supported by fundamental analysis, charting and third‑party research; it maintains model portfolios that are periodically reviewed and is transitioning toward predominately discretionary management (about $292.4 million discretionary vs roughly $642,740 non‑discretionary). MFA Wealth Services monitors allocations for rebalancing and may adjust portfolios for tax and liquidity considerations rather than rebalance on a strict schedule.

What is distinctive is the firm’s multi‑disciplinary affiliations: principals also act as registered representatives of a broker‑dealer, operate an insurance agency, have an affiliated law practice and provide CPA/tax services, and hold real‑estate broker licenses — activities the firm discloses and says occupy a modest portion of their time and that can affect implementation options or create conflicts the firm manages. The firm also relies on third‑party administration and custody arrangements and reports that nearly all assets are managed on a discretionary basis despite its small advisor count, which is atypical for similarly sized supported firms.

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.

Find your advisor

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
