Who wouldn't want to be guided by someone who places their clients' interests first and foremost? Ed Mahaffy's quest to build a business for his clients led to him writing How to Select a Financial Advisor: The Least You Should Know.

CPAs who wish to add comprehensive financial planning and investment management to their practices should contact ClientFirst Wealth Management about affiliating as an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR).

I have been client with ClientFirst for more than a decade and have found that as a financial advisor, Ed Mahaffy is unsurpassed in his knowledge of both fixed income and equity markets. More importantly, his integrity and honesty leave me sleeping well at night knowing that he is more than just a fiduciary in name--he has proven that he truly has my financial interests at the center of every decision he makes for my account. I know that Ed personally manages my portfolio specifically for my needs-no cookie-cutter portfolios here. If you are saving for retirement or are currently retired, you should

Ed Mahaffy was highly recommended by a friend, and in 2005, after my husband and I met with him and made the decision to put all my husband’s retirement and 401-k funds in his hands. We have never regretted that decision. Even with the market going up and down, as it has over the past 16 years, Ed has always kept our funds safely invested. Take our word for it, he won’t disappoint.
