About
Smedley Financial Services provides advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates and business entities, offering asset management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting and referrals to third‑party money managers. The firm manages approximately $396.7 million in client assets and also publishes a periodic investment newsletter as part of its educational materials.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes lifetime‑income planning and a proactive, time‑horizon based process that segments assets into phases and constructs diversified portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, bonds and variable insurance sub‑accounts. Portfolios are typically implemented through model‑based programs and platforms (including VISION2020/NFS), tailored to each client’s objectives and monitored on an ongoing basis; Smedley also advises on rollovers and fiduciary retirement plan matters.
Distinctive features compared with many team advisors include a mix of fee‑based advisory services alongside limited commission and insurance sales: advisor representatives are registered with Osaic Wealth as broker‑dealers and some are licensed insurance agents who devote a portion of their time to commission business, and the firm receives solicitor and platform fees when referring to third‑party managers. The firm also offers a paid newsletter option for non‑clients and discloses the use of client testimonials and endorsements in its marketing materials, practices the brochure identifies and explains as potential sources of conflicts of interest.

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
