About
Galligan Financial Advisors serves individuals, families and small business owners, providing fee‑only investment advisory services alongside tax planning and preparation, retirement and estate planning, college funding, and partnership planning (including divorce, prenuptial and mediation support). The firm operates as a registered investment adviser and CPA practice and provides ongoing asset management while advising clients on employer retirement plan options without directly managing plan assets.
The firm requires a formal financial planning engagement before managing investments and combines fundamental, technical and economic analysis with tools such as Morningstar Principia to assess risk and construct diversified portfolios using no‑load mutual funds, ETFs and occasional individual stocks. Galligan Financial describes an active management approach with monthly performance reporting, bi‑weekly market advisories, acceptance of discretionary trading, and explicit risk controls including stop‑loss guidance.
Distinctive features include a relatively large client base (about 250 clients), which represents a high client load per advisor compared with peers, and the integration of CPA and attorney expertise within the advisory practice to provide in‑house tax preparation and legal‑adjacent planning. The firm’s operational practices—regular reconciliations through a single custodian, routine Morningstar risk snapshots, and a stated policy to cut positions that fall sharply in short timeframes—highlight a more interventionist risk‑management stance than many independent advisers.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
