About

Northbrook Financial provides investment management and financial planning primarily to individual and high-net-worth clients, and also advises employer-sponsored retirement plans. The firm reports about $108.8 million in discretionary assets under management, serves roughly 127 clients with a two-advisor team, and offers services that include portfolio management, ongoing comprehensive financial planning, retirement income planning, employee benefit plan consulting, and public speaking engagements.

Investment programs are tailored to each client using an investment policy statement and a combination of analytical approaches (fundamental, technical, cyclical, charting) alongside principles of modern portfolio theory; the firm typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis and allows reasonable client-imposed restrictions. Northbrook Financial also uses third-party platforms and managers — including Altruist as a sub-advisor and Pontera for management of held-away accounts — and conducts periodic reviews to rebalance and adjust allocations.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include an affiliation with a separate tax-preparation entity and a managing member who is a CPA, enabling coordinated tax planning options for clients (engagement is optional). The firm is also a participant in a wrap-fee program and delivers occasional educational seminars and speaking engagements, and it offers technical arrangements to monitor and adjust held-away assets via third-party aggregation tools.

CFP®, ChFC®

Baltimore, MD

Northbrook Financial

Mike focuses his energy into helping clients navigate all of their financial needs. His experience includes a stint on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, a career focused on investments at Brown Advisory and insurance at Securian Financial. During these experiences, he learned that a balanced approach and strategic financial planning is what can help clients achieve their goals. When not talking to clients or researching the next great opportunity for them, Mike & his wife enjoy quiet city living and relaxing whenever their new daughter allows. He loves playing soccer, lacrosse, golf, basketball… and really any sport. When he’s not meeting friends or family at the movies or the local watering hole, you can normally find him reading something very nerdy, like science fiction or financial science.

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
