Additional Information

Douglas Finley founder of Finley Wealth Advisors

"Early on in my career, I realized that financial salespeople were manufacturing complexity to confuse and manipulate investors. It has been my goal for over two decades to bring clarity to that unnecessary complexity.

I have worked to shed light on the various compensation schemes of Wall Street and the insurance industry. Over the years I have constantly worked to refine my approach, even changing my own philosophy when the evidence warranted.

There are many ways to approach investment management and financial planning. I believe that our firm offers one of the very best. We are, however, committed to continually seeking new ways to do a better job for our clients."
