About
Tillman Hartley provides personalized financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, retirement plans, and small businesses. Services described in the brochure include portfolio management, written financial plans, retirement plan and consulting services, sub‑advisory arrangements, and a trademarked Family Board of Directors™ offering for complex multi‑generational families.
The firm says its investment process is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and implemented through customized Investment Policy Statements, model portfolios, and ongoing discretionary rebalancing; allocations may include individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, municipal and corporate bonds, futures and options, alternative investments, and global exposures. Clients receive at least quarterly reviews and reporting, and the adviser notes use of third‑party platforms and providers (e.g., Black Diamond reporting, Dimensional Fund Advisors) to support portfolio construction and performance reporting.
Notable features in the brochure that distinguish Tillman Hartley from many peers are its scale relative to headcount — roughly $746 million managed for about 57 clients, producing a high AUM‑per‑advisor profile — and its continued sponsorship of a legacy wrap fee program for certain accounts. The firm also discloses reliance on referral and solicitor arrangements (stating it does little general advertising and may compensate referring parties under Solicitors Agreements) and emphasizes its Family Board of Directors™ service with a typical $40 million threshold, signaling a focus on a relatively small number of large, complex client relationships.

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
